Cham was the pseudonym for the French artist, Charles-Henri-Amedee, the second son of Comte Louis de Noe. An original lithograph, "C'est drole, monsieur et madame engraissent mais c'est pas du meme cote" was published by "Le Charivari" for 'Actualites" (News), a series which often focused upon the foibles of everyday life. In this scene, Cham depicts a servant-laborer questions why the girth of his employers grows in different directions without recognizing that here, girth and fashion meet. This impression contains the series title and the number '391" in the upper margin. It also includes the publishing and printer's details, "Maison Martinet, 172 r de Rivoli et 41 rue Vivienne", "Lith. Destouchet, 28 r. Paradis, Pre, Paris.", and the full "title in French, "C'est drole, monsieur et madame engraissent mais c'est pas du meme cote." which loosely translates to (It's funny, monsieur and madame are stout but it's not on the same side.) The number appearing to the lower left signifies that this is Cham's 530th original lithograph. This is a fine, original example of the satirical art published by the journal, 'Le Charivari, and the lithographic art created by the French artist, Charles-Henri-Amedee. |

Note: | 'Cham' was the pseudonym for Charles-Henri-Amedee, the second son of Comte Louis de Noe. Being of noble birth he was intended for a career in the Ministry of Finance. Cham, however, had different intentions. He studied painting techniques under Paul Delaroche and the art of lithography in the studio of Nicholas-Toussaint Charlet. His first lithograph was published in 1839 and for the following forty years his art concentrated upon amusing scenes of middle class life, ranging from the foibles of fashion to the hazards of horse racing. His many lithographs comprise a wonderful comic study of French life and culture during the mid nineteenth century. |
The Golden Age of French satirical art is generally held to be the era from 1830 to 1850. The lithographs published by the Paris journal, "Le Charivari", were at the center. Founded by the artist, writer and editor, Charles Philipon (1804-1862), "Le Charivari" commenced its daily publication in 1832. By means of both its art and commentaries this journal led the attack upon France's political leaders, royalty, priesthood, and any other possibly corrupt individuals and institutions. Artists Philipon commissioned for satirical lithographs included such masters as Daumier, Gavarni and Travies. | |
By 1845 the French middle class had asserted itself as a major economic and social force. Their activities and culture became a primary subject for satirical artists. Unlike the biting attacks upon those in power, satirical observations of the middle class were of a more gentle and amusing nature. Undoubtedly, "Le Charivari's" most popular caricaturist in this vein was Cham. | |
During the mid 1850's - 1860's, the French satirical artist, Charles-Henri-Amedee, worked on a series of lithographs under the general title of 'Actualites' (News / News of the Day, or Daily News), published in Paris by, 'Le Charivari'. And, during this period, Cham's lithographic art often focused upon the foibles of everyday life, such is the case with this original lithograph published by Le Charivari in Paris under the French title, "C'est drole, monsieur et madame engraissent mais c'est pas du meme cote". The English translation for the title is "It's funny, monsieur and madame are stout but it's not on the same side". It depicts a servant-laborer questions why the girth of his employers grows in different directions without recognizing that here, girth and fashion meet.) The number appearing to the lower left signifies that this is Cham's 530th original lithograph. This is a fine, original example of the satirical art created by the French artist, Cham the pseudonym for the French artist, Charles-Henri-Amedee. | |
