EDITORS COMMENTS
The caption for the print of "Pas le sou! Si j'allais chez Miss Howard, caricature of Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte" could be: "This colored lithograph from 1848 by Charles Frondat depicts Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte (1808-73), the French President during the Second Republic. The image humorously portrays him in a destitute state, highlighting his reliance on Miss Elizabeth Harriet Howard for financial support while he was exiled in London. In the caricature, Louis-Napoleon is shown wearing a top hat and sporting his signature moustache. However, his appearance is ragged and threadbare, symbolizing his poverty-stricken condition. He holds a fish as if contemplating whether to sell it for money. The cartoon playfully suggests that Louis-Napoleon's only hope for some funds lies with Miss Howard. This reference alludes to the fact that she had provided him with financial assistance during his time in exile. This artwork captures both political satire and social commentary prevalent during this period. It reflects the struggles faced by those who were once powerful but found themselves impoverished due to circumstances beyond their control. Now housed at Musee d'Art et d'Histoire in Saint-Denis, France, this piece offers insight into historical events while showcasing Frondat's artistic talent and wit. "
