1846 Caricatured Halo Over Coat Patriot Barrere Dartagnan Deroulede
EDITORS COMMENTS
This caricature, titled "Paul Deroulede et Barrere: D'Artagnan a la Fin de Siecle" (Paul Deroulede and Barrere: D'Artagnan at the End of the Century), was created in 1914 and is a testament to the political satire of the time. The image features Paul Deroulede and his political ally, Joseph Barrere, depicted as the last D'Artagnan, a legendary musketeer from Alexandre Dumas' classic novel, "The Three Musketeers." Paul Deroulede (1846-1914), a French patriot and politician, was known for his fiery speeches and his role in the anti-Dreyfusard movement. He was a prominent figure in French politics during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, advocating for the rights of the common people and opposing the establishment. In this caricature, Deroulede and Barrere are dressed in blue overcoats, a nod to their political allegiance, and are shown with halos above their heads, suggesting that they are seen as saviors or champions of the French people. The use of the D'Artagnan character adds an element of humor and exaggeration to the image, highlighting the larger-than-life persona of these political figures. The red background and the white lettering add a bold and striking visual contrast, making the image both eye-catching and memorable. The year 1914 is inscribed at the bottom, providing a historical context for the image and reminding us of the rich political history of France during this time period. This caricature is a fascinating glimpse into the political satire of the early 20th century and offers a unique perspective on the lives and personalities of Paul Deroulede and Joseph Barrere. It is a must-have for anyone interested in French history, politics, or the art of caricature.
