étrangers à Paris Caricatures par Cham Les Illustration (Paris, France) Cham 1818-1879 creator still image engravings (prints) fr Paris Illustration 1861-08-17 fre 12 engravings; 33.0 x 23.0 cm. reformatted digital This series of caricatures about foreigners in Paris depicts British, American and Siamese tourists. The British are represented as stingy and mean. The insistence, in the caricatures, on their love of meat and beefsteak may be linked to the nickname that the French gave the British a few decades earlier ("les roast beefs", or "rosbifs"), in reference to a way of cooking that was particular to the British. Americans are also represented here: the Civil War had just began, which can explain why they are depicted as fighting or trying to steal canons Visitors France Paris Caricatures and cartoons Social LifeClassesArtCaricatures and Satires1852-1870 (The Second Empire)1-SIZE AP Il63 38 1223577983921875 Paris: Capital of the 19th Century 6 http://dl.lib.brown.edu/paris No Copyright - United StatesCollection is open for research.
