Karikatuur van een apotheker uit Vichy 1866 - 1870

"Karikatuur van een apotheker uit Vichy" (Caricature of a pharmacist from Vichy) is a satirical print by Victor Collodion, a French artist known for his caricatures. Created between 1866 and 1870, the artwork depicts a pharmacist perched on a seesaw, his head comically enlarged, as he presides over a scene of a bustling ballroom. Collodion's style, characterized by exaggerated features and social commentary, is evident in this piece, which humorously critiques the social life of a French town. The print's title and subject matter provide insight into Collodion's work, which often satirized the habits and characters of his contemporaries.
