About the Item
The print titled "La Ménagerie Impériale" is a satirical caricature featuring Prince Pierre Bonaparte. 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, Prince Pierre Bonaparte is depicted with his head attached to the body of a wild boar. The boar is shown aggressively emerging from a forest, symbolizing savagery and brutality. The text at the top reads "PIERRE BONAPARTE" and "N° 6," indicating this is the sixth in the series. Below the image, the caption "LE SANGLIER" (The Wild Boar) is followed by "Sauvagerie - Brutalité" (Savagery - Brutality), emphasizing Prince Pierre Bonaparte's perceived violent and uncivilized nature.
Prince Pierre-Napoléon Bonaparte (11 October 1815 – 7 April 1881) was a French nobleman, revolutionary and politician, the son of Lucien Bonaparte and his second wife Alexandrine de Bleschamp. He was a nephew of Napoleon I, Joseph Bonaparte, Elisa Bonaparte, Louis Bonaparte, Pauline Bonaparte, Caroline Bonaparte and Jérôme Bonaparte.
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.
