Item Description

Title	Le Char Impérial. Mauvais Attelege Conduit Par Un Cocher Inepte Et Vantard
Alternative Title	The Imperial Carriage: Poor Team Driven by an Inept and Boastful Coachman
Date	1870s
Description	This is a political caricature related to the Franco-Prussian War of 1870 or the Paris Commune of 1871. Caption: "Sommes-nous dans la bonne route, crie Badinguet a l'homme qui tient les rênes? -Soyez tranquille, notre maître, je connais mon métier, et mes deux bêtes sont bonnes sans qu'il y paraisse. Vous savez ce dont elles sont capables et moi aussi. -Hue, Lebœuf! Hue, Frossard! Vous allez voir comment nous allons marcher. -Badinguet se rassure et les autres suivent son exemple. Oh! que leur confiance est bien placée. Malgré son prétendu savoir, le cocher perd la tête, est bientôt embourbé dans un mauvais pas, dont les rosses ne peuvent le sortir, le char verse dans la boue aux portes de Sédan!" Caption (English translation): "Are we going in the right direction?, Badinguet shouts to the man who holds the reins. -Be calm master, I know my job, and my two beasts are good without seeming to. You know what they are capable of and me too. -Ea, Leboeuf! Ea, Frossard! You will see how we advance. -Badinguet is reassured and the others follow his example. Oh! That their confidence may be well placed. Despite his supposed knowledge, the driver loses his head, he is soon embroiled in a tight spot, from which the nags cannot get out, the chariot poured into the mud at the gates of Sedan!"
