EDITORS COMMENTS
(You! Subscribed to an opposition newspaper? - It's so full of press releases that it's almost like a government newspaper) is a satirical lithograph by the renowned French caricaturist Amedée Charles Henri de Noé, better known as Cham, published in Le Charivari on November 6, 1867. This image is part of the "Actualités" series and showcases a man, presumably a subscriber to an opposition newspaper, leaning on a chair with a stack of newspapers piled high beside him. The man's expression suggests frustration and exhaustion as he reads through the numerous press releases. The title of the work, written in bold lettering, adds to the humorous tone of the piece. Cham's use of caricature and parody was a common technique during the 19th century to comment on current events and societal issues. In this case, the artist is poking fun at the sheer volume of press releases and the potential influence they had on opposition newspapers. This lithograph is a valuable historical artifact, providing insights into the political climate of the time and the role of the press in shaping public opinion. It is also an excellent example of Cham's artistic skill and his ability to use humor to engage and provoke thought. The image, with its intricate line work and attention to detail, is a testament to the enduring appeal of this artistic medium. This artwork is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) and is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of caricature, satire, and the role of the press in shaping public opinion during the 19th century. Whether you're a fan of Cham, a history buff, or simply someone who appreciates the power of a well-placed joke, this lithograph is sure to leave a lasting impression.
