J'ai des Miots dans l'assemblée... 1851. Creator: Honore Daumier
J'ai des Miots dans l'assemblee... 1851. Satirical caricature - Andre Marie Jean Jacques Dupin pushing a plough: J'ai des Miots dans l'assemblee, j'ai des Segurs marques de roux, la sonnette est en fer creusee et le manche en branche de houx. C'est par leurs soins, montagne et plaine, que chacun crie hiver, ete, ils crient toute la semaine. Miot, Segur de leur cote. Quand il faut les entendre, j'aimerais mieux me pendre; Bourzat me crispe: eh bien, pourtant j'aimerais mieux. Trente Bourzats reunis, que ces deux. (Pierre Dupont: Les Boeufs)'. From Idylles parlementaires

EDITORS COMMENTS
This satirical caricature by Honore Daumier, titled "J'ai des Miots dans l'assemblee... 1851," captures the essence of political absurdity and incompetence in 19th century France. The image features Andre Marie Jean Jacques Dupin pushing a plough, symbolizing the ineffective leadership and lack of progress in the government.
The caption beneath the illustration humorously describes Dupin as having "Miots dans l'assemblee" and "Segurs marques de roux," highlighting the ridiculousness of his actions. The bell he holds is made of hollow iron, while the handle is crafted from holly branches - a comical touch that adds to the overall satire.
Daumier's sharp wit and keen observation are evident in this piece, as he pokes fun at politicians like Dupin who seem more interested in making noise than actually getting things done. The reference to Pierre Dupont's poem "Les Boeufs" further emphasizes the theme of agricultural labor being equated with political maneuvering.
Through his hand-colored lithograph, Daumier brings to life a scene that is both humorous and thought-provoking. This artwork serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, issues of corruption and inefficiency plagued governments - a timeless message that still resonates today.
