Gêné dans ses plans. Je suis volé, ils auraient bu me bayer tout de suite!
EDITORS COMMENTS
(Embarrassed in his plans. I'm robbed, they'd have drunk me right away!) is a captivating lithograph by the renowned French caricaturist, Cham, published in Le Charivari magazine on July 14, 1871. This image, titled "Actualités," is a masterpiece of allegorical art that continues to intrigue art enthusiasts and historians alike. The central figure in this print is a disheveled and embarrassed Gene, represented as a personification of France. He is depicted in traditional French attire, complete with a tricolor cockade, holding a top hat in one hand and a cane in the other. The expression on his face conveys a sense of shock and disbelief as he realizes he has been robbed. The robbers, symbolizing Germany, are shown in the background, each with a bottle in hand, ready to drink the stolen goods. The title of the print, "Gêné dans ses plans," translates to "Embarrassed in his plans," and the phrase "ils auraient bu me bayer tout de suite!" means "they'd have drunk me right away!" This suggests that the robbers were planning to consume the stolen goods, likely a reference to the impending Franco-Prussian War and the potential loss of French territory and resources to Germany. This lithograph is an important historical artifact, providing a glimpse into the political and cultural climate of 19th-century Europe. It is a testament to Cham's artistic skill and his ability to use humor and satire to comment on current events. Today, this print is part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and intrigue visitors from around the world.
