J'ai mangé du cheval, du Jockey je n'en ai pas encore goûté, c'est une lacune dans ma cuisine!
EDITORS COMMENTS
(I ate horse, I haven't tasted the Jockey yet, it's a gap in my cuisine!) is a satirical lithograph created by French caricaturist Léon-Auguste-Alphonse Cham, also known as Cham, in 1865. This image was published in the French satirical weekly magazine Le Charivari on March 25, 1865, under the series title "Actualités." The lithograph depicts a well-dressed man, identified as Amedee de Noe, a French journalist and writer, sitting at a table laden with various dishes. The man is in the midst of a meal, with a look of surprise and delight on his face as he reaches for a plate labeled "Jockey." The other plates on the table are labeled with various cuts of horsemeat, such as "Rump," "Saddle," and "Tongue." The man's expression suggests that he has not yet tried the Jockey, and he is eager to do so. The title of the lithograph plays on the double meaning of the word "Jockey." In this context, it refers to a type of horsemeat dish, specifically the meat from the horse's hindquarters. However, the term "Jockey" could also refer to a person who rides horses in races. The caricature is a humorous commentary on the popularity of horse racing and the consumption of horsemeat in 19th-century Europe. This lithograph is an important example of the satirical and parodic art of the 19th century. It is a testament to the cultural and historical significance of Le Charivari and the role it played in shaping French society and politics during this period. Today, this lithograph is held in the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) and is a valuable addition to the museum's heritage art holdings.
