{"product_id":"french-illustration-lassiette-au-beurre-4","title":"Not In Front of Charles, L'Assiette au Beurre","description":"\u003cp\u003eA wickedly satirical illustration from L'Assiette au Beurre, the legendary French weekly that skewered bourgeois morality with gleeful abandon during the Belle Époque. This mordantly funny scene depicts a widow (or perhaps not quite widow?) being embraced by a gentleman at her husband's grave, with the caption translating to 'I beg you... not in front of Charles!' The elaborate tomb, complete with bust portrait and civic dedication 'from his birthplace,' only heightens the delicious impropriety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bold graphic approach, with its striking crimson background and confident black outlines, exemplifies the avant-garde illustration that made L'Assiette au Beurre essential viewing for Parisian intellectuals and artists. Published weekly from 1901 to 1912, the magazine attracted major talents who pushed the boundaries of both style and social commentary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA standout piece for collectors of French satirical illustration, Belle Époque ephemera, or anyone who appreciates wit delivered with graphic panache.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11.75\" x 9.0\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very Good, Age-appropriate wear.
