"Infantilisation: A Satirical Reflection on the Power Play of Politics" In the early 20th century, French satirical publications like "L'Assiette au Beurre" and "The Temoin" used their colorful illustrations to expose the infantilization of political figures. These biting caricatures depicted government ministers as helpless babies, highlighting their incompetence and lack of maturity. One such illustration from "L'Assiette au Beurre, " number 199, portrayed Maurice Berteaux, Minister of War at the time. The lithograph humorously showcased him in a diaper, emphasizing his inability to effectively lead during times of conflict. Emile Combes and Maurice Rouvier were not spared either; they were depicted as baby ministers in another issue. This clever satire ridiculed their leadership skills by reducing them to mere infants playing with toys in the Ministry. Etienne Eugene's portrayal in yet another edition further emphasized this theme. As Minister of Interior, he was shown as a child holding a gavel while presiding over a courtroom filled with dolls. This image symbolized how justice was being toyed with under his watchful eye. "The Don Quixote, " another satirical publication, also contributed to this critique through its covers. Number 440 featured an illustration showcasing nationalism intertwined with Marianne, France's national symbol adorned with a cross gammee - suggesting that blind patriotism can be dangerously childish. Throughout these publications ran a common thread: politicians who prioritized personal gain over public welfare were reduced to childish figures by talented artists wielding pens instead of swords. Their aim was clear – exposing those who let power go to their heads and reminding readers not to be swayed by empty rhetoric or flashy displays. Even postcards joined this chorus; one showed the Kronprinz warning against allowing French works of art drag down Germany's reputation - an attempt at belittling France's cultural achievements while portraying Germany as a superior force.
