EDITORS COMMENTS
This satirical print captures the essence of Marie-Edme-Patrice-Maurice Mac Mahon, Comte de MacMahon (1808-1893), a French soldier and politician who served as the President of France from 1873 to 1879. The image shows MacMahon in military uniform, complete with a bell and a large chartreuse basket, as he stands atop a grand staircase. The satirical tone is evident in the exaggerated size of the basket and the bell, which seems to be ringing ominously. MacMahon's presidency was marked by political instability and conflict, including the Franco-Prussian War and the Paris Commune. This print may be a commentary on his inability to quell the unrest and maintain order in France during his tenure. The bell could represent the alarm bells ringing during times of crisis, while the basket may symbolize the burdens he was unable to carry or solve. The print is dated 1893, several years after MacMahon's presidency, suggesting that it was created in hindsight and with a critical eye. The artist may have been poking fun at MacMahon's military background and his inability to effectively lead the country as a politician. The title "Moloch 82" is also intriguing, as Moloch is a name associated with the Canaanite god of child sacrifice. It's unclear if this is a deliberate reference or not, but it adds an intriguing layer of meaning to the image. Overall, this satirical print offers a unique and humorous perspective on the complex and controversial legacy of Marie-Edme-Patrice-Maurice MacMahon, Comte de MacMahon.
