EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph from 1906, titled "L'Assiette au Beurre, number 298: L'auto de justice - Marche reere guarantiere" is a satirical masterpiece by Leal de Camara. The artwork depicts a scene of justice proceedings with an allegorical twist. In the forefront, we see an automobile representing the vehicle of justice, driven by a blindfolded driver symbolizing impartiality. The central focus of the image is a large lobster sitting on top of the car's roof. This peculiar choice suggests that even in matters of law and order, there can be unexpected elements at play. Surrounding the automobile are judges and an examining magistrate who appear to be carefully observing this unusual spectacle. Camara's use of caricature adds depth to this piece as it highlights societal issues prevalent during that time period. The engraving showcases various symbols such as an arm holding a sword and cartwheels signifying power and authority. With its intricate details and clever symbolism, this lithograph offers viewers a glimpse into French society in the early 20th century. It serves as both social commentary and artistic expression, inviting us to reflect on themes like disability (represented by blindness) and animalization within our legal systems. Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical gem for art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate its beauty while pondering its underlying messages about justice, power dynamics, and human limitations.
