EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print showcases General Duchesne, a prominent member of the War Council during the early 20th century. The illustration is taken from L'assiette au Beurre: Nos Generaux, a renowned publication that satirically depicted influential figures of its time. Created on July 12th, 1902, this color lithograph by Camara Leal de captures the essence of General Duchesne's character with remarkable precision. In this portrayal, General Duchesne can be seen donning his military uniform adorned with medals and badges of honor. His slumped posture suggests weariness from his responsibilities as a high-ranking officer. A French hat sits atop his head, adding an air of authority to his persona. The artist has masterfully crafted this caricatured portrait to convey both humor and critique. Through exaggerated features and playful exaggerations, they have managed to capture the essence of General Duchesne's personality in a satirical manner. This intriguing piece offers us a glimpse into the world of political satire prevalent during that era. It serves as a testament to the power art holds in reflecting societal attitudes towards those in positions of power. Currently housed in a private collection belonging to The Stapleton Collection, this print continues to captivate viewers with its bold colors and intricate details. Its historical significance cannot be understated as it provides valuable insight into the socio-political climate surrounding war councils at that time.
