EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "L'Assiette au Beurre, number 173, Satirique en couleurs, 1904_7_23: Medical, Folie, Repression" created by Aristide Delannoy in the early 20th century, offers a thought-provoking glimpse into the world of French satire and social commentary. The image showcases a scene filled with symbolism and powerful imagery that speaks to the themes of violence, asylum life, labor exploitation, and mental health. In this intricate engraving set against a backdrop of black and white tones reminiscent of newspaper print journalism from the era, we witness an unsettling tableau. A goalkeeper figure stands at one end as if guarding against some unseen danger or perhaps representing society's attempt to repress certain truths. Meanwhile, a laborer is shown trapped within the confines of an asylum cell—a poignant symbol for societal confinement and abuse. The central focus lies on madness itself personified by a figure who appears both tormented and restrained by medical instruments. This portrayal raises questions about psychiatry practices during that time period while shedding light on broader issues surrounding psychology and health. Delannoy's masterful use of color adds depth to this composition—highlighting the contrast between darkness and vibrant hues—to emphasize its satirical nature. Through his artistry and attention to detail in capturing late 19th-century France's socio-political climate, Delannoy invites viewers to reflect upon these enduring themes that continue to resonate even today.
