EDITORS COMMENTS
Thunder of D. . . as I look like him!. . . Cartoon of Travies dating from the 19th century depicts a humorous portrayal of a man comparing himself to a statuette of Napoleon. Created by Charles Joseph Travies de Villiers, this French caricature captures the essence of self-importance and vanity prevalent during that era. The cartoon showcases an individual with exaggerated features, including a hunchback posture, standing proudly next to a small figurine representing Napoleon Bonaparte. The man's expression suggests he sees himself as equal in stature and power to the renowned French military leader. Travies' artistic style is characterized by his ability to capture intricate details while infusing humor into his work. This particular print exemplifies his talent for satire and social commentary through visual storytelling. Dating back to the 19th century, this artwork provides us with valuable insights into the cultural climate and attitudes towards authority figures during that time. It serves as both entertainment and critique, reminding viewers not to take themselves too seriously. This print by Leonard de Selva preserves Travies' original creation, allowing us to appreciate its historical significance today. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time, witnessing an amusing yet thought-provoking moment captured forever on paper.
