Orgueil - A Humorous Satire on Vanity and Pride in 1900s France
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print titled "Orgueil" offers a delightful glimpse into the world of French humor and satire during the early 20th century. Created by Benjamin Rabier, a renowned illustrator, this color lithograph was originally featured in Le Pele-Mele on October 20,1901. The image portrays a comical scene centered around a mannequin named Jeanneton. With exaggerated features and an air of pretension, Jeanneton embodies vanity at its finest. The satirical cartoon cleverly mocks the human tendency to take pride in external appearances while neglecting inner qualities. Rabier's artistic style combines wit and charm as he playfully captures the essence of this amusing doll-like character. Through his scathing satire, he highlights one of the seven deadly sins - pride - with both lightheartedness and depth. This satirical drawing not only reflects French culture but also resonates with universal emotions experienced across Europe. It serves as a reminder that excessive pride can be found within all societies throughout history. As we gaze upon this entertaining piece from our private collection, we are transported back to an era where humor served as both entertainment and social commentary. "Orgueil" invites us to reflect on our own sense of self-importance while indulging in laughter at the expense of our own vanities.
