Le Roi Salomon, Lui-même, sur le Point de Donner sa Langue aux Chiens, Faute de Pouvoir Trouver une Solution à la Question
EDITORS COMMENTS
(King Solomon, He Himself, on the Verge of Giving His Tongue to the Dogs, Due to the Lack of a Solution to the Issue), is a captivating lithograph created by the renowned French caricaturist, Cham, in 1864. This intriguing work of art is part of the "Actualités" series, published in the French satirical weekly magazine, Le Charivari, on Friday, 10 June 1864. The image depicts King Solomon, the legendary monarch of ancient Israel, in a humorous and unusual predicament. He is shown with a frustrated expression, on the verge of giving his tongue to a group of barking dogs. The reason for this bizarre act is not explicitly stated, but it is implied that he is unable to find a solution to a pressing issue. The lithograph is a testament to Cham's exceptional artistic skills and his ability to use humor to comment on contemporary society. The image is rich in symbolism, with King Solomon's regal attire and the howling dogs adding to the overall intrigue. The black and white, or b&w, format of the lithograph adds to its timeless appeal and makes it a valuable addition to any art collection or gallery. This historic artwork is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of the 19th century and the role that satire played in shaping public opinion during that era. It is a fascinating depiction of a well-known biblical figure, and its inclusion in the "Actualités" series of Le Charivari highlights the magazine's role as a leading source of news and commentary during that time. Today, this lithograph is housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) and is a popular attraction for visitors interested in the history of art and satire. It is a testament to the enduring appeal of Cham's work and the power of art to provoke thought and inspire laughter.
