{"product_id":"la-caricature-iii-various-artists","title":"La Caricature III - Various Artists","description":"\u003cp\u003eA nineteenth-century French political lithograph from the journal La Caricature, depicting a satirical procession of figures representing the social and political factions of the July Monarchy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis lithograph originates from the French satirical journal La Caricature, a publication active during the July Monarchy. The image depicts a procession of figures representing various political and social factions of the era. The composition is arranged as a linear parade, a common device in nineteenth-century political cartoons to mock the pomposity of public figures and state institutions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach figure is rendered with specific attributes that identify their role, from military officers in full regalia to figures draped in newspapers, symbolising the influence of the press on public discourse. The use of hand-applied colour adds a layer of visual clarity to the individual costumes and the banner held at the front of the procession. The banner, inscribed with 'Frères de la Doctrine', serves as a critique of the religious and political alliances that defined the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe style reflects the satirical tradition of the time, where artists used exaggeration to comment on the social climate of Paris. The figures are drawn with a focus on caricature, distorting physical features to convey moral or political failings. The background remains minimal, ensuring the focus stays on the procession itself. This work provides a window into the visual culture of 1830s France, where print media acted as a primary vehicle for political dissent and public debate. The print captures the tension between the established order and the shifting political landscape of the post-revolutionary era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/on-the-island-of-crete-ivan-aivazovsky\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eOn the Island of Crete - Ivan Aivazovsky — Ivan Aivazovsky\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/view-of-montelspran-cornelis-springer\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eView of Montelspran - Cornelis Springer — Cornelis Springer\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Various Artists","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58480092119375,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58480105324879,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58480105357647,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58480105390415,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58480105423183,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58480105455951,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58480105488719,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58480105521487,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58480105554255,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58480105587023,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58480105619791,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58480105652559,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/La-Caricature-III_Poster_CompositorV1_1786346809137.jpg?v=1786767256","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/la-caricature-iii-various-artists","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
