EDITORS COMMENTS
This cartoon, titled "The Tiercering of 1810" by the Dutch artist Jacob Smies, offers a humorous yet insightful commentary on the economic crisis that plagued France during the early 19th century. The image, created between 1810 and 1812, depicts two men in wigs, dressed in the fashion of the time, furtively throwing bags of money into a well labeled "La France." The well is guarded by soldiers and a hussar on a rocking horse, symbolizing the instability and chaos of the financial situation. In the foreground, Napoleon Bonaparte, dressed in his military uniform and seated atop a mound of skulls, watches the scene unfold. The use of this macabre prop alludes to the human cost of the financial crisis, as well as Napoleon's role in exacerbating it through his military conquests and extravagant spending. The Tiercering of 1810 is a prime example of the artistic movement known as caricature, which gained popularity during this period for its ability to satirically critique political and social issues. The use of color and humor adds to the overall impact of the piece, making it a valuable addition to any collection of 19th-century art or historical records. This cartoon provides a glimpse into the economic and political climate of the time, offering a humorous yet poignant commentary on the consequences of debt and financial instability. The Tiercering of 1810 by Jacob Smies is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of France, the Napoleonic era, or the artistic movements of the 19th century.
