EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing political cartoon, titled "The French Consular Triumvirate" or "Settling the New Constitution" by James Gillray, offers a satirical commentary on the three French Consuls of the First Republic - Napoleon Bonaparte, Cambaceres, and Lebrun - as they deliberate over the new constitution in 1799. The triumvirate, a form of government where three men hold supreme power, was a significant shift from the radical democratic phase of the French Revolution. In this print, the three consuls are depicted in their robes of office, sitting around a table laden with documents. The background reveals a peep into the constitutional pigeon holes of Abbe Sieyes, a key figure in the early stages of the French Revolution. The cynical and harsh criticism of the cartoon is evident in the exaggerated expressions and caricatured features of the consuls. Napoleon Bonaparte, the future Emperor of the French, is shown with a smug and self-satisfied expression, while Cambaceres and Lebrun appear anxious and uneasy. The cartoon's title, "Settling the New Constitution," suggests that the consuls are not truly working for the benefit of the people but are instead manipulating the political landscape for their own gain. The 1790s were a tumultuous period in French history, and this cartoon provides a fascinating insight into the political machinations of the time. James Gillray, a renowned British satirical printmaker, skillfully captures the cynicism and criticism towards the leaders and rulers of the French Republic, offering a harsh yet insightful commentary on the political landscape of the era.
