EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, created by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier in 1833, depicts the famous poet, novelist, short story writer, literary critic, historian, and politician, Comte de Keratry, otherwise known as Auguste Hilarion. The image was published in the satirical periodical "La Caricature," specifically in its 150th issue, on September 19, 1833, as plate 314. Daumier's masterful lithograph captures the essence of Comte de Keratry's character, showcasing him in a full-length portrait, dressed in the fashion of the nineteenth century. The Count is seen wearing an elegant, high-collared coat, a top hat, and a cane, which were common attire for men of his social standing during that era. The artist's use of black and white, or lithotint, adds to the print's historic and timeless appeal. The humorous and satirical nature of the print is evident in the exaggerated features of the Count's face and the quizzical expression on his face. Daumier's parody of the poet and politician serves as a commentary on the absurdities and eccentricities of the French political scene during that period. This remarkable piece of art, now held in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, is a testament to Daumier's exceptional artistic abilities and his keen insight into the human condition. It offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the rich heritage of French art and literature from the 19th century.
