EDITORS COMMENTS
This historical print captures the controversial advertisement for Dr. Trabant's little pills, known as "Victoria / Cocorico / Advert." Originally banned by the Paris police for its mockery of Queen Victoria, this satirical piece of history caused quite a stir in 1819. Despite its initial ban, the advertisement was later reproduced and circulated widely, showcasing the power of satire and humor in challenging authority.
The image depicts an old lady coughing and suffering from a cold, with the bold text advertising Dr. Trabant's miracle pills to cure her ailments. The clever use of humor and irony in this advertisement sheds light on the tensions between Britain and France during that time period, as well as the cultural significance of Queen Victoria.
Through this print, we are transported back to a time when advertisements were not just about selling products but also making political statements. The legacy of "Victoria / Cocorico / Advert" lives on as a reminder of how art can challenge norms and push boundaries in unexpected ways.
