EDITORS COMMENTS
This colorful lithograph print titled "Marmottes administratives" captures a humorous scene from the early 20th century. The illustration, created by an anonymous French artist, was originally published in Le Pele-Mele on June 3rd, 1906. It depicts a group of clerks and civil servants who have succumbed to idleness and laziness while on the job. The comical image shows these office workers hypnotized or possibly even asleep at their desks. They appear to be completely unaware of their surroundings as they ride imaginary horses or simply doze off. This satirical portrayal of the French administration is both entertaining and scathing, highlighting the perceived lackadaisical attitude towards work within this sector during that time period. The artist's clever use of satire and caricature adds an amusing touch to this satirical cartoon. Through exaggerated features and expressions, he humorously comments on the concept of productivity in the workplace. "Marmottes administratives" offers a fascinating glimpse into French culture and societal norms of the era. It reflects not only the attitudes towards work but also provides insight into European labor practices during that time. This print from Bridgeman Images captures a moment frozen in time - one that continues to entertain viewers with its wit and charm over a century later.
