Description
Artist / Publisher : DAUMIER, H.
Place & date : Paris 1864
Color : Uncolored.
Size : 250 x 230 mm.
Condition : Litho printed on white wove paper without text on the verso.
Macaire personified the clever business man, who was willing at any time to throw moral and ethical principles overboard for a quick buck. His personality fitted exactly to the period so well described by Alexis de Tocqueville: self-enrichment at all levels and a Government run on shareholders principles. Short-selling, pyramid systems, investments in Californian gold mines and IPOs of non existent companies were the name of the game. Thanks to Macaire and Bertrand, all the little tricks were demonstrated in detail to the public.
Through Daumier’s drawings and Philipon’s texts, the public was made aware of the wrongdoings of Macaire without names ever being mentioned. “Caricaturana” appeared between August 1836 and November 1838, and various books were published in 1839 by Aubert, using mirror images, reduced and redrawn versions of the originals after Daumier and copied by Menut-Alophe.
After the July-Revolution and the reinstatement of the Freedom of the Press, CHARLES PHILIPON (1800-1862) recognised the growing desire of the public for information. In 1830, he founded the political satirical illustrated paper LA CARICATURE.
PHILIPON’s brother-in-law GABRIEL AUBERT was responsible for the distribution and sale of the publication.
LA CARICATURE can be considered the first political and satirical French newspaper of that period combining politics and contemporary art. In total, there appeared 251 editions of LA CARICATURE from Nov.4, 1830 to Aug.27, 1835 featuring 524 caricatures of various artists, of which 91 by Daumier. Each edition fluctuated between 750 and 2’000 copies.

- Macaire personnifiait l'homme d'affaires intelligent, qui était prêt à tout moment à jeter les principes moraux et éthiques par-dessus bord pour un argent rapide. Sa personnalité correspondait exactement à la période si bien décrite par Alexis de Tocqueville: un auto-enrichissement à tous les niveaux et un gouvernement dirigé sur les principes d'actionnaires. Ventes à découvert, systèmes pyramidaux, investissements dans les mines d'or californiennes et introductions en bourse d'entreprises inexistantes étaient le nom du jeu. Grâce à Macaire et Bertrand, toutes les petites astuces ont été démontrées en détail au public.
À travers les dessins de Daumier et les textes de Philipon, le public a été mis au courant des méfaits de Macaire sans que les noms ne soient jamais mentionnés. «Caricaturana» est apparu entre août 1836 et novembre 1838, et divers ouvrages ont été publiés en 1839 par Aubert, utilisant des images miroir, des versions réduites et redessinées des originaux d'après Daumier et copiées par Menut-Alophe.
Après la Révolution de juillet et le rétablissement de la liberté de la presse, CHARLES PHILIPON (1800-1862) a reconnu le désir croissant du public d’informer. En 1830, il fonde le journal politique satirique illustré LA CARICATURE.
Le beau-frère de PHILIPON, GABRIEL AUBERT, était responsable de la distribution et de la vente de la publication.
LA CARICATURE peut être considéré comme le premier journal politique et satirique français de cette période alliant politique et art contemporain. Au total, 251 éditions de LA CARICATURE ont paru du 4 novembre 1830 au 27 août 1835 présentant 524 caricatures d'artistes divers, dont 91 de Daumier. Chaque édition a fluctué entre 750 et 2 000 exemplaires. - Stock No
