The Charivari, 1877_8_11 - Illustration by Cham - Footwear - Dumas Alexandre (son), Domestic Servants
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures an intriguing illustration from the renowned French satirical magazine, The Charivari. Created in 1877 by the talented artist Cham, also known as Amedee Charles Henri de Noe, this artwork depicts a scene filled with wit and social commentary. In the foreground of the image, we see a pair of footwear representing Dumas Alexandre (son), a prominent writer of that era. This clever inclusion suggests that literature plays a significant role in shaping society's perception of individuals like Dumas. Additionally, it highlights how writers are often seen as influential figures who leave their mark on history. Moving towards the background, we observe domestic servants going about their daily tasks. Cham skillfully portrays these workers to shed light on the class divide prevalent during the 19th century. Through his caricature style, he emphasizes both their importance within households and their marginalized status in society. The intricate details captured in this engraving showcase Cham's talent as an engraver and his ability to convey complex ideas through visual storytelling. It serves as a testament to his contribution to French journalism and satire during this time period. Overall, this thought-provoking artwork offers us a glimpse into France's literary landscape while shedding light on societal dynamics surrounding class distinctions and labor relations during the late 19th century.
