La voila donc cette Mme. Putiphar?
EDITORS COMMENTS
translates to "Here she is, this Mrs. Putiphar?" in English. This intriguing caption accompanies a 19th century lithograph by Cham, titled "Joseph vous n'êtes qu'un polisson! Voilà 4.000 ans que vous nous en imposez!" which translates to "You've been a scoundrel for 4,000 years! You will at once return the price of virtue which we have extorted from ourselves." The image depicts a stern, gesturing woman, identified as Mrs. Putiphar, pointing an accusing finger at a man, presumably Joseph, who is shown with a sheepish expression. This caricature was published in the French periodical "Le Charivari" on January 25, 1866, under the category "Actualités." Cham's work was known for its satirical and humorous commentary on contemporary events and societal issues. In this instance, the artist drew inspiration from the biblical story of Joseph and Potiphar's wife. The lithograph showcases the artistic techniques of the time, with intricate line work and shading, resulting in a high-contrast, black-and-white image. The piece is a valuable addition to the history of caricature and graphic arts and serves as a testament to the enduring nature of storytelling and the human capacity for humor. This artwork is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) and is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that continues to influence and inspire contemporary art and literature. The image invites viewers to explore the narrative behind the caricature and consider the role of humor and satire in shaping our understanding of history and human nature.
