EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the cover of "Le Don Quixote" number 495, Satirique en Couleurs from 1883. The artwork, created by Charles Gilbert-Martin (1839-1905), is a stunning illustration that captures the essence of political satire during that time period. The image depicts an allegorical scene with various symbolic elements. In the foreground, we see a blind horseman representing the government, holding a sabre and wearing a military uniform. This figure is none other than Jules Ferry, a prominent Republican politician in France during the late 19th century. The title of this particular issue is "Malbrough goes to war!" which adds another layer of meaning to the composition. Malbrough refers to Ferdinand de Lesseps, who was involved in controversial events surrounding French colonialism and imperialism at that time. The artist skillfully uses visual metaphors to convey political commentary on these historical events. The disabled arm and allegory hint at criticism towards governmental actions or policies. Additionally, there are references to journalism and newspapers throughout the piece, highlighting their role as vehicles for disseminating information and shaping public opinion. Overall, this print offers viewers an intriguing glimpse into French politics and society during the late 19th century through its masterful use of symbolism and artistic technique.
