Cette pauvre Albion! Ces satanés farceurs de fenians finissent par lui enlever toutes ses affaires
EDITORS COMMENTS
(Poor Albion! Those damn Fenian pranksters end up taking all his stuff away from him), is a poignant and satirical lithograph created by the renowned French caricaturist, Amedee Charles Henri de Noe, better known as Cham, in 1866. This masterpiece is part of the "Actualites" series published in the French satirical magazine "Le Charivari" on January 6, 1866. The image depicts an allegorical figure of Albion, representing Britain or Britannia, sitting dejectedly on a chair, with a look of despair and helplessness on his face. His once rich and ornate attire is in shambles, and he is stripped bare, with all his belongings, symbolized by various objects scattered around him, taken away by the "satanés farceurs de fenians" or the "damn Fenian pranksters." The Fenians were a secret Irish revolutionary organization, and this allegory reflects the tensions and conflicts between Ireland and Britain during the 19th century. The black and white lithograph, with its intricate lettering and graphic details, is a testament to the artistic skill and creativity of Cham. The image has been preserved and exhibited in various art galleries and museums, including the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and continues to be an essential piece of historical and cultural heritage. The humorous yet thought-provoking depiction of Albion's plight serves as a reminder of the complexities and challenges of the past, and the power of art to capture and preserve history.
