The Clothes Maketh Not the Man
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and satirical illustration that perfectly captures the essence of French humor. Created by Charles Emile Egli, also known as Carlegle, this color lithograph was originally published in Le Rire magazine on July 21,1906. In this comical artwork, Egli skillfully portrays the idea that one's appearance does not define their true character. The scene depicts a group of men and women dressed in extravagant costumes, each representing different social stereotypes. From an elegant lady to a dashing gentleman, these caricatures highlight society's obsession with outward appearances. With a touch of sauciness and wit, Egli challenges societal norms by exposing the absurdity of judging people solely based on their attire. Through his clever use of satire and exaggeration, he invites viewers to question the importance placed on clothing as an indicator of worth or personality. This humorous cartoon serves as a scathing commentary on French culture at the time while simultaneously providing entertainment for readers. It reminds us all to look beyond superficialities and focus instead on what truly matters – our actions and inner qualities. As we admire this delightful piece from Le Rire magazine's archives, let us be reminded that it is not our garments but rather our deeds that define who we are as individuals.
