EDITORS COMMENTS
The Grande Parade, a fold-out cartoon from La Caricature, captures the riotous and chaotic atmosphere of France in 1880. Created by Albert Robida, this colorful lithograph is a satirical portrayal of the Realist movement that took place in 1879. The artwork cleverly incorporates various elements such as Nana, a scandalous novel by Emile Zola, and the Declaration des Droits de Femme (Declaration of Women's Rights), highlighting the social and political issues of the time. In this lively scene, we witness a marching band leading a circus-like procession through a fairground filled with mayhem and excitement. A boxing match takes place in one corner while an orchestra plays energetically nearby. Figures representing prominent literary figures like Alexandre Dumas fils can be spotted amidst the chaos. Robida's artistic style perfectly captures the spirit of funfair festivities with its vibrant colors and intricate details. Each character seems to have their own story to tell within this bustling crowd. This print provides us with not only entertainment but also insight into French society during this period. It serves as both historical documentation and artistic expression, showcasing how art can reflect societal concerns while still providing amusement. Displayed at Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France, this piece continues to captivate viewers even today with its dynamic composition and humorous depiction of life during that era.
