Imperial Menagerie: Newerkerque - The Poodle (Bohemianism - Plunder), 1870
About the Item
The print titled "La Ménagerie Impériale" is a satirical caricature featuring Newerkerque. It is part of a series composed of 31 hand-colored lithograph plates by the artist Hadol, published in Paris by Au Bureau des Annonces around 1870. The album, "LA MENAGERIE IMPÉRIALE," depicts various figures as animals, metaphorically representing those who have "devoured" France over the past 20 years, including during the Franco-Prussian War (1870-1871).
In this specific print, Newerkerque is depicted with his head attached to the body of a poodle. The poodle is shown running away with a box of valuables, symbolizing bohemianism and pillage. The text at the top reads "NEWERKERQUE" and "N° 26," indicating this is the twenty-sixth in the series. Below the image, the caption "LE CANICHE" (The Poodle) is followed by "Bohême - Rapine" (Bohemianism - Plunder), emphasizing Newerkerque's perceived indulgence in a carefree lifestyle and exploitation.
The album as a whole, titled "LA MENAGERIE IMPÉRIALE," is a caricatural representation of the royal family and significant politicians of the time, using animal imagery to critique their roles and actions. The plates were originally issued loose in contemporary boards with a mounted hand-colored lithographed title. The format is small quarto (Sm. 4to), and the edges are slightly worn and browned, typical for works of this age.
This print, along with the rest of the album, serves as a historical and political commentary, utilizing humor and satire to criticize the leadership during a turbulent period in France’s history.
