EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print captures the essence of satirical artistry through a collection of colourful caricatures. Created by Moloch (Colomb B. ) in the late 19th century, these illustrations were originally published in Nos Celebrites Contemporaines, an album commissioned for the renowned High Life Tailor shop in Paris. The image showcases a scathing satire on food supply and mealtime during that era. With intricate details and clever wit, Moloch portrays a scene where politicians dine while the poor struggle to feed themselves. The artist's keen eye for social commentary is evident as he depicts Raymond Poincare, a prominent French politician who served as Prime Minister at that time. Through this piece, Moloch brilliantly exposes the stark contrast between those in power and those living in poverty. As we gaze upon this early 20th-century artwork, we are transported back to a time when political satire was used as a powerful tool to shed light on societal issues. The inclusion of iconic French symbols like croissants adds depth to the illustration, emphasizing its connection to French culture and history. This print not only serves as an artistic masterpiece but also offers us valuable insights into European politics during that period. With its bold colours and thought-provoking imagery, this artwork by Moloch continues to captivate viewers even today. It reminds us of our responsibility towards ensuring equal access to food resources for all members of society – a message that remains relevant across generations.
