Conseil de guerre. Entrer, c'est bien, mais êtes-vous sur qu'on nous laissera sortir?
EDITORS COMMENTS
(Council of War. Coming in is good, but are you sure we'll be let out?) is a powerful and thought-provoking lithograph by the renowned French caricaturist, Amedée Charles Henri de Noé, better known as Cham. This image, published in the French satirical weekly Le Charivari on Tuesday, 9 August 1870, captures a moment of tension and uncertainty during a council of war. The illustration depicts a group of military figures, all dressed in uniforms and bearing arms, gathered around a table. Their expressions are serious, and their crossed arms suggest a deep contemplation of the situation at hand. The figure in the foreground, who appears to be the leader of the group, looks intently at his comrades, as if seeking their counsel. The other figures return his gaze, each lost in thought. The title of the lithograph, "Council of War. Coming in is good, but are you sure we'll be let out?" adds an element of uncertainty and suspense to the scene. It suggests that the council is deliberating on a critical decision, one that could have significant consequences. The use of black and white, or "bw," adds to the image's stark and somber tone, emphasizing the gravity of the situation. This historic artwork is an important depiction of military strategy and decision-making during a time of war. It is a valuable addition to any collection of historical art, and a testament to Cham's skill as a caricaturist and illustrator. Whether displayed in a museum, art gallery, or private collection, this lithograph is sure to provoke thought and inspire conversation about the complexities of war and the role of leadership in times of crisis.
