EDITORS COMMENTS
The black and white lithograph titled "Very Haughty and Very Mighty Legitimist Brats, February 1834" captures a whimsical scene from 19th century France. Created by the talented artist Honore Daumier, this caricature showcases his keen observation of society's quirks and foibles. In the image, we see three children embodying the epitome of haughtiness. Dressed in regal attire with crowns atop their heads, they exude an air of entitlement that belies their tender age. A young girl holds a doll while skipping rope, her face contorted in a scream as if demanding attention. Beside her stands a teenage boy on a rocking horse, his expression equally disdainful. The third child, a toddler clutching onto his toy tightly, completes this trio of spoiled youngsters. Daumier's lithography skillfully highlights the absurdity of these "legitimists" who staunchly supported the French monarchy during this period. Through exaggerated features and postures, he satirizes their sense of superiority and privilege. This artwork not only serves as an amusing portrayal but also offers insight into societal attitudes towards royalty at that time. It reminds us that even children can be influenced by political ideologies prevalent in their country. Currently housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this print is part of Daumier's extensive body of work dedicated to social commentary through artistry. Its timeless appeal continues to captivate viewers today
