EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Laboulie, 1849" by Honore Daumier, offers a humorous and satirical take on French politics during the 19th century. The subject of the caricature is Gustave de Laboulie, a French politician who served in various government positions during the Second French Empire. Daumier, a renowned French artist and master of satire, expertly captures the essence of Laboulie's political persona through his skillful use of exaggerated features and facial expressions. The politician is depicted as a rotund man, with a smug and self-satisfied expression on his face, clad in the formal attire of the time. His oversized nose and ears, along with the exaggerated folds of his clothing, add to the overall comedic effect. The title "Representes (Representatives Represented)" is inscribed at the bottom of the print, further emphasizing the political commentary. The satirical nature of the work is evident in the contrast between the grand title and the unflattering portrayal of Laboulie. This lithograph is an excellent example of Daumier's ability to use humor and parody to critique the political landscape of his time. It is a valuable addition to any collection of 19th-century art, particularly those focused on political satire and heritage art. This particular print is housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it can be appreciated by visitors from around the world. The museum's acquisition of this work not only enhances its collection but also provides a window into the political climate of France during the Second French Empire.
