Chap. II: Je ne me reconnais plus (I No Longer Recognize Myself) 1824

"Chap. II: Je ne me reconnais plus (I No Longer Recognize Myself)" is a lithograph by Victor Adam from 1824. The artwork depicts a man in a top hat looking confused as he is embraced by another man in a striped suit. The scene appears to be set in an interior, with furniture and a mirror in the background. Adam, known for his satirical works, uses this image to illustrate the themes of identity and alienation. The artwork is a commentary on the changing social landscape of the early 19th century. "Chap. II" is part of a series of illustrations titled "Les Français Peints par eux-mêmes", which satirized the foibles of French society. The artwork is currently held in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
