EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Series Les Bons Bourgeois, Isn't it marvellous to have a son who is a lawyer" captures the essence of bourgeois pride and societal expectations in 19th-century France. Created by Honore Daumier, this lithograph from Le Charivari depicts plate 21 of the series, showcasing a satirical portrayal of a family's admiration for their lawyer son. In the image, we see a couple, presumably parents, standing proudly next to their son dressed in court attire. The mother exclaims with delight at having such an honorable profession within their family while urging her son to remain in his costume all day long. The father looks on approvingly as they bask in the social status associated with having a lawyer as part of their lineage. Daumier's caricature highlights the superficiality and pretentiousness often found among the bourgeoisie during that era. Through clever satire and exaggerated features, he critiques society's obsession with appearances and social standing. This black-and-white photograph offers us insight into Parisian life during this time period. It serves as both historical documentation and artistic commentary on class dynamics and societal values prevalent in 19th-century France. Displayed at Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, this artwork continues to captivate viewers today with its wit and thought-provoking message about familial pride and societal expectations.
