J'ai la douleur de vous annoncer! Que vous avez la parole!
EDITORS COMMENTS
(It pains me to tell you! That you have the floor!) is a powerful and witty caricature created by the renowned French artist, Cham, in 1866. This lithograph was originally published in the French satirical weekly magazine, Le Charivari, on Monday, 18 June 1866, under the series title "Actualités." The image depicts a man, presumably American, standing before a European audience, dressed in full military regalia and holding a cannon. The man, with a smug expression on his face, is bowing before the crowd, as they jeer and point at him in disdain. The title of the caricature, written in bold lettering at the bottom, adds to the humor and satire of the scene. The image is a commentary on the tensions between Europe and America during the 19th century. The man's military attire and the cannon he carries symbolize America's growing power and influence on the world stage. However, the crowd's reaction to him suggests that Europeans viewed America as an upstart and uncultured continent. This caricature is an important historical artifact that provides insight into the cultural and political climate of the time. It is a testament to Cham's skill as a caricaturist and his ability to capture the zeitgeist of the era. Today, it is housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) and is a valuable addition to their collection of historic art and artifacts. The black and white lithograph, with its intricate details and sharp contrasts, is a stunning example of the graphic arts of the 19th century. The figures are depicted with a sense of humor and exaggeration that is still relevant today, making it a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art and satire.
