EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving "Les Lapins D Orleans, 1870" by Faustin Betbeder takes us back to the aristocratic society of 19th century France. With its vibrant colors and satirical depiction, this artwork offers a scathing satire on the greed and indulgence prevalent among the nobility. In this caricature, Faustin portrays Louis-Philippe d Orleans, Count of Paris, alongside Prince Robert, Duke of Chartres, Duke Henri d Orleans of Aumale, and Prince Francois d Orleans de Joinville. Each figure is humorously transformed into a rabbit or bunny-like creature, emphasizing their animalistic desires. Through this metamorphosis, Faustin highlights the seven deadly sins that plagued these individuals: pride (Louis-Philippe), envy (Prince Robert), gluttony (Duke Henri), and wrath (Prince Francois). The artist's clever use of carrots as symbols for temptation further accentuates their insatiable appetites. This engraving not only serves as a critique on the decadence within French politics but also reflects broader themes such as social hierarchy and power dynamics. It invites viewers to reflect upon the consequences of unchecked privilege in society. "Les Lapins D Orleans" stands as a testament to Faustin Betbeder's artistic talent in capturing both political commentary and societal criticism through his satirical drawings. This piece remains an enduring reminder of the complexities inherent in human nature while showcasing the artist's mastery in conveying messages through visual storytelling.
