L'Assemblée d'Actionnaires
EDITORS COMMENTS
or "The Shareholders' Meeting" is a satirical print created by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier in 1836. The image, published in the popular weekly satirical magazine "Le Charivari," captures the essence of the financial and political climate of the time in France. Daumier masterfully depicts a group of well-dressed, smug, and self-satisfied men, gathered around a table, intently listening to a speaker. The speaker, with a top hat in hand, addresses the group with a confident and persuasive tone, urging them to contribute more funds to keep their monarchist newspaper, "Messieurs, le journal franchement monarchique," afloat. The caption reads, "Gentlemen, the monarchist newspaper, which I had the honor of founding with your capital and of directing with my abilities and my knowledge, has surpassed all our hopes... it has been going for two months, has devoured only three hundred thousand francs and in order to have it reappear all we need is a small payment from your side... gentlemen, take yourselves to the cashier." The print is part of Daumier's "Caricaturana" series, and it offers a biting commentary on the corrupt and self-serving nature of the French political and financial elite. The men in the print are portrayed as greedy and shallow, more concerned with their own interests than with the well-being of the newspaper or the wider public. The image serves as a reminder of the power of satire to expose the hypocrisy and corruption of those in positions of power, and it remains a fascinating and insightful glimpse into the past. The print is a valuable historical document, offering a unique perspective on the political and financial landscape of 19th-century France. It is a testament to Daumier's artistic skill and his ability to capture the zeitgeist of his time, making it an essential addition to any collection of French political and social history.
