Dites donc Madame, elle n'est pas propre cette feuille la!
EDITORS COMMENTS
("Say, madame, it's not clean, this leaf there!") is a captivating lithograph created by the renowned French caricaturist, Cham, in 1864. This allegorical work, titled "Si vous croyez que c'est amusant pour moi d'avoir ces pages dans mon livre, vous auriez bien me faire écrire autre chose" ("If you think it's fun for me to have these pages in my book, you might as well have me write something else"), is an intriguing commentary on the state of fashion and the role of art in reflecting societal norms. The image depicts two figures, a man and a woman, dressed in the fashion of their respective continents - Europe and America. The European man is elegantly dressed in a tailcoat and top hat, while the American woman dons a voluminous dress adorned with stars and stripes. Both figures are looking at each other, with the European man pointing at a dirty leaf in the American woman's dress, implying a criticism of her appearance. This caricature, published in the French satirical magazine Le Charivari on June 7, 1864, under the series "Actualités," is a testament to the power of art in commenting on the cultural differences and societal norms of the time. The use of allegory and caricature adds a layer of depth to the image, making it a valuable addition to any art collection or gallery. This black and white lithograph, with its intricate lettering and graphic details, is an essential piece of 19th-century art history. It is a reminder of the role of art in reflecting and commenting on the world around us, and the importance of preserving such artistic heritage for future generations. This artifact, now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), continues to fascinate and inspire viewers with its timeless commentary on fashion, culture, and the human condition.
