Satirical work depicting several religious figures laughing around a table.
The work wasrealized by Edmond Lavrate (Orleans, 1829 - Paris, 1888), a designer, lithographer, anticlerical French inventor of advertisements and illustrated questions. Lavrate then devoted himself to comic watercolor, through which he particularly targeted the military. With the advent of the Republic, the cartoonist attacked the figure of Napoleon III, favorite target Republicans since Sedan. One of his watercolors, with the caption " Badinguet going to war, Rolled Sedan ", is seized in 1872 at Leloup, print dealer, rue de la Lune in Paris. According to Guillaume Doizy, " In addition to the republican anticlerical political caricature, Lavrate invents the anticlerical caricature of morals, by attacking a clergy, which, in its sociological diversity, will become the target of the free-thinking press after 1900. Of the religious question, Lavrate appears as a forerunner. We understand why he was, after 1900, extensively reissued by the militant press ".
