EDITORS COMMENTS
Honore Daumier's masterpiece, "Les trois disciples de Mr. Cobden se livrant.." (Monsieur Cobden's three disciples in their final attempt at showing the delights of peace to the Cossacks), created in 1854, is a captivating lithograph that offers a humorous commentary on the political climate of the time. The image features Richard Cobden, a prominent English politician, manufacturer, and advocate for free trade and peace, surrounded by three disciples, attempting to persuade a group of Cossacks in a military camp to appreciate the charms of peace. Daumier's caricature, part of the "Les Cosaques pour rire" series published in the French satirical magazine "Le Charivari," employs a playful and whimsical style. The disciples are depicted as frolicking figures, adorned with garlands and flowers, while Cobden, wearing a top hat and holding a pipe, plays a musical instrument, possibly a pipe or a flute. The Cossacks, however, remain unimpressed, with one of them seemingly uninterested while another looks skeptical. The image, reminiscent of the 19th century, showcases the beauty of nature through the use of plants and flowers, contrasting the harshness of the military camp. The concept of peace is further emphasized through the use of musical instruments and the joyful demeanor of the disciples. Daumier's "Les trois disciples de Mr. Cobden se livrant.." is an enduring testament to the power of art as a commentator on society and politics, offering a glimpse into the past while maintaining its relevance in today's world.
