EDITORS COMMENTS
This cartoon, titled "First Consul Bonaparte," is a color lithograph created by the renowned team of Joseph Keppler and Bernhard Gillam for the American satirical magazine, Puck, between 1880 and 1889. The image portrays Napoleon Bonaparte, the legendary French military and political leader, who rose to prominence during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Bonaparte is depicted here in the guise of the First Consul of the French Republic, a position he held from 1802 to 1804 before becoming Emperor Napoleon I. The cartoon showcases Bonaparte standing confidently, clad in military attire, with his arms crossed and a smirk on his face. He is surrounded by various European countries and continents, including England, Italy, and France, symbolizing his influence and dominance over the European political landscape. The caricature is a testament to the impact of Bonaparte's colonial conquests and the spread of French influence across the globe. Bernhard Gillam's masterful illustration style and attention to detail are evident in the intricate depiction of the various national symbols and historical figures in the background. This piece of art serves as a fascinating glimpse into the political and social climate of the 1880s, as well as a reminder of the enduring legacy of Napoleon Bonaparte. This historic cartoon is now part of the esteemed collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and intrigue visitors from around the world. The image is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, European history, or the political satire of the late 19th century.
