Mr. Thiers Embraces a Member of the Permanence Committee and Proves to Him How Much the Sea Has Fortified Him,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating lithograph by the renowned French caricaturist Cham, was first published in the French satirical weekly magazine Le Charivari on September 26, 1872. This intriguing image, titled "Actualites," offers a humorous take on the political climate of the time. The central figure in this black-and-white depiction is Adolphe Thiers, a prominent French statesman and historian, who is seen embracing a member of the Permanence Committee with great enthusiasm. Thiers, dressed in formal attire, holds the man's hand while pointing towards the sea in the background. The caption playfully suggests that the sea has fortified Thiers, likely alluding to his resilience and strength in the face of political adversity. The caricature, which showcases Cham's exceptional artistic skill, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the 19th century. The use of bold lines, intricate details, and expressive figures adds to the humor and satire of the image. The man from the Permanence Committee, wearing a ballet skirt and carrying a cane, is depicted with a surprised and amused expression, adding to the overall playfulness of the scene. This artwork, which is now part of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's collection, is a fascinating glimpse into the political and social climate of the 19th century. The intricate details and clever use of humor make it a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, politics, or European culture.
