EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the year 1900 illustrates a satirical and scathing commentary on French society at the turn of the 20th century. Created by Joseph Belon as part of his 'Album of the Intransigent: The Year 1900 in Pictures', this piece titled 'Sweet Dream' features various symbols and figures representing power, politics, and everyday life.
In the center of the composition is Emile Loubet, President of the Republic, depicted in an armchair - a symbol of authority and leadership. Surrounding him are animals such as a donkey, pork pig, geese/ducks, duck, and rooster which may represent different aspects or individuals within society.
The inclusion of a hat and Legion of Honour further emphasizes themes related to status and prestige. Through clever use of satire and caricature, Belon offers a humorous yet critical perspective on contemporary French culture.
This colorful print captures not only the aesthetic style popular during this period but also provides valuable insights into societal norms and values. It serves as both a historical document and a work of art that continues to intrigue viewers over a century later.
