EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a page from Abou-Naddara no. 9, an iconic satirical magazine that graced the streets of Paris between 1880 and 1882. Created by James Sanua, also known as Abou Naddara, this lithograph measures 27x21.6 cm and is now part of a private collection. The image transports us back to a time when political satire was at its peak, with this particular issue offering readers a glimpse into the subversive world of humor and commentary. The intricate cartoon illustrations are complemented by witty French text, creating an engaging visual narrative that challenges societal norms and pokes fun at those in power. Abou-Naddara's pages were filled with biting satire aimed at politicians and other figures of authority. This front cover illustration captures the essence of the magazine's irreverent spirit, inviting viewers to delve deeper into its thought-provoking content. As we explore this historical artifact further, it becomes evident that Abou-Naddara played a significant role in shaping public opinion during its run of 41 issues. Through clever engravings like these, Sanua managed to convey his political messages while entertaining readers with his unique brand of humor. This print serves as both a testament to Sanua's artistic prowess and a reminder of how art can be used as a powerful tool for social commentary. It invites us to reflect on our own society's relationship with politics while appreciating the timeless value of satire
