Il Aboie! Mais il ne mord pas!
EDITORS COMMENTS
(He barks! but he doesn't bite!) is a captivating and humorous caricature created by the renowned French artist, Cham, in 1864. This intriguing image was published as part of the "Actualites" series in the French satirical weekly newspaper, Le Charivari, on March 25, 1864. The cartoon depicts an American soldier on horseback, dressed in full military regalia, barking at a dog that is sitting calmly and obediently by his side. The soldier's exaggerated expression and body language convey a sense of frustration and annoyance, as if he is trying to provoke the dog into attacking. However, the dog remains unperturbed, adding to the humor of the situation. The caricature offers a glimpse into the cultural exchange between Europe and America during the 19th century. The soldier's appearance, complete with a tall hat, coat, and rifle, reflects the uniforms and equipment of the American armed forces during this time. The dog, on the other hand, is a common depiction of a European breed, possibly a Basset Hound or a Bloodhound. The use of humor and satire in this caricature reflects the social and political climate of the time. Cham's work was known for its biting wit and commentary on current events, making it an important historical artifact and a valuable addition to any art, history, or cultural collection. This print, titled "Il Aboie! Mais il ne mord pas!" is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the 19th century and the enduring appeal of Cham's work. It invites us to reflect on the past and the ways in which art has been used to capture the spirit of the times. Whether appreciated for its historical significance or its simple humor, this caricature continues to entertain and engage audiences today.
