EDITORS COMMENTS
or "Our Last King's Cake," is a powerful and poignant caricature by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier, created in 1872. This print, with its rich history and cultural significance, is a captivating addition to any art collection or gallery. Daumier's masterful depiction of the Battle of Sedan, which took place on September 1, 1870, is brilliantly conveyed through this caricature. The image shows a defeated and disheveled French monarch, King Napoleon III, sitting on a throne made of a large, ornate king's cake. The cake, adorned with the Prussian pickelhaube helmets, symbolizes the defeat of the French monarchy and the rise of the Prussian Empire. The satirical and humorous tone of the piece is evident in the exaggerated features of the king and the surrounding soldiers, as well as the playful lettering that reads "Notre dernier gateau des rois" in the top right corner. The print was created using the Gillotype process on newsprint, a popular technique during the 19th century, and its monochrome palette adds to its timeless and historic feel. This caricature is a testament to the power of art as a means of commenting on current events and reflecting the cultural and political climate of its time. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. is just one of the many prestigious institutions that have recognized the importance of this piece, and it continues to be a popular subject of study and admiration among art enthusiasts and historians alike. Whether you're a collector, an art aficionado, or simply someone interested in history, "Notre dernier gateau des rois" by Honore Daumier is a must-see piece that is sure to leave a lasting impression.
