Publisher: Hannah Humphrey (London). Date: June 26, 1803.Napoleon Bonaparte, First Consul of France, perches on the hand of his enemy King George III who regards him through a spyglass. Five weeks before this print was published, the tenuous Peace of Amiens between Britain and France had broken down. The title refers to Jonathan's Swift's Gulliver's Travels (1726), in which the protagonist visits a land of giants, describes his nation's political system to the king, and provokes a disgusted response. At first glance, this seems a supremely confident image: the huge figure of King George can barely see his tiny enemy. But Napoleon's swagger and unsheathed saber hint at danger. Indeed, once hostilities resum

A Candidate Who do you want .. An upright, conscientious, sober man, an industrialist, a man who doesn't need the government to enrich himself, a man familiar with the law, who knows it well, through practice, very long practice.. a long practice of law.. you can't choose any better than.. my honorable friend,” plate 48 from Caricaturana 1837 France. Daumier could no longer overtly criticize the French government in his art after King Louis Philippe imprisoned him for six months in 1832. In this print, however, the artist derived his humor not from character assassination but from the buildup the perpetually scheming Robert Macaire, an archetypal villain from French popular literature, gives his preferred candidate, the rotund gentleman standing in the middle..
