EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Prefecture de police - Vous n'avez pas de médailles? - J'ai cru qu'il n'y avait plus de..." (You don't have any medals? I thought there was no more decoration for the civilian), was created by the renowned French caricaturist, Cham, in 1872. Published in the French satirical periodical, Le Charivari, on September 6, this image is a part of the "Actualites" series. The print depicts two men, both dressed in formal attire, seated at a desk in the Prefecture of Police. One man, with a stern expression, is asking the other, "You don't have any medals?" The second man, looking surprised and dismayed, replies, "I thought there was no more decoration for the civilian." The humorous and satirical tone of the image is evident in the exaggerated expressions and body language of the figures, as well as the use of lettering and graphic elements. The black and white lithograph, with its intricate detail and sharp contrasts, is a testament to Cham's skill as an artist and his ability to capture the essence of the human condition through caricature. This print offers a glimpse into the cultural and historical context of 19th century Europe, and is a valuable addition to any collection of historical art, graphic art, or caricatures. It is a reminder of the power of humor and satire to reflect and comment on the social and political issues of the time, and to entertain and engage audiences.
