EDITORS COMMENTS
This humorous lithograph, titled "Chef de division" offers a satirical glimpse into the world of bureaucracy and administration in 19th-century France. Created by Henri Monnier and lithographed by Delpech around 1828, this hand-coloured print captures the essence of administrative habits with a touch of wit. In this scene, we find ourselves in an office setting where a male bureaucrat, portrayed as a caricature, holds the position of head of division. The artist's keen eye for detail is evident as he depicts the chaotic nature of administrative work through clever visual cues. The central focus lies on our protagonist who seems to have found solace in his beverage rather than diligently attending to his duties. With a drink in hand, he embodies the stereotypical image of an overworked government official seeking refuge from paperwork and mundane tasks. Monnier's illustration not only highlights the idiosyncrasies within bureaucratic systems but also serves as social commentary on administrative inefficiencies that transcend time. Through playful exaggeration and subtle satire, this artwork invites viewers to reflect upon their own encounters with bureaucracy while eliciting laughter along the way. As part of The Stapleton Collection housed in a private collection today, this piece continues to captivate audiences with its timeless humor and relatable depiction of office life.
