EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph from 1906, titled "L Assiette au Beurre, number 274, Satirique en couleurs" is a remarkable piece of political satire. Created by the talented artist Leal de Camara (1877-1948), this print captures a momentous encounter between three influential figures: King Leopold II of Belgium (1835-1909), Georges Leygues (1857-1933), and Sisowath Preah Bat (1840-1927) of Cambodia. The image portrays an intriguing blend of Belgian and Cambodian culture. The central figure, King Leopold II, is depicted wearing his crown in traditional Belgian attire. Standing beside him is Georges Leygues, a French politician known for his involvement in international relations during the early 20th century. On the right side of the composition stands Sisowath Preah Bat, who was then serving as the ruler of Cambodia. Dressed in traditional Cambodian garments and adorned with intricate jewelry, he exudes elegance and regality. The scene seems to capture a momentary pause during an elaborate dance performance that showcases both Belgian and Cambodian traditions. This meeting symbolizes not only diplomatic relations but also cultural exchange between these two nations. Through this lithograph's clever caricature style and attention to detail, it offers a glimpse into the complex dynamics between Europe and Asia during that time period. It serves as both historical documentation and artistic expression—a testament to how art can encapsulate politics and societal interactions within its frames.
