EDITORS COMMENTS
Auguste Klein's "Le jour de l'an," or New Year's Day, is a captivating lithograph created by the renowned French caricaturist Cham, published in the popular periodical Le Charivari on December 26, 1867. This intriguing image showcases a humorous and satirical depiction of the New Year's Day celebrations in both Europe and America during the 19th century. Cham masterfully captures the essence of the New Year's Eve revelry, with a chaotic scene filled with laughter, merriment, and a touch of the absurd. The image is dominated by a large, exuberant man, identified as Auguste Klein, standing in the center, surrounded by a crowd of people, including men and women, dogs, and various animals. The man, dressed in a striped shirt and holding a bottle of champagne, appears to be the life of the party. The caricature is rich in details, with each figure and animal displaying unique expressions and characteristics, adding to the overall humor and charm of the artwork. The background is adorned with lettering and illustrations, referencing various aspects of New Year's Day traditions from both continents. This lithograph, now a valuable artifact, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage and the enduring appeal of Cham's work. It has been preserved and exhibited in various museums and galleries, including the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, allowing future generations to appreciate the wit and humor of this historic piece.
