''La Caricature'' was a satirical weekly published in Paris between 1830 and 1843 during the July Monarchy. Its cartoons repeatedly attacked King Louis Philippe, whom it typically depicted as a pear. ==History== ''La Caricature morale, politique et littéraire'' was published from 1830 to 1843. Auguste Audibert was editor and Charles Philipon (1800–61) was director. The journal was founded after the censorship laws had been relaxed following the July Revolution of 1830 in which Louis Philippe came to power. It covered both politics and art. 251 issues appeared between 1830 and 1835, each of four pages, with two or three lithographs. Philipon was the owner of the largest printing house in Paris equipped with lithographic presses, and used them to print ''La Caricature'' and ''Le Charivari'', another illustrated paper. He drew together a group of skilled artists who mostly worked for these two papers, through which they attacked the king and the system of government with growing violence. The major contributors were Honoré Daumier (1808–79) and Jean Ignace Isidore Gérard Grandville (1803–47), but there were many others. For example, a caricature by Jules David appeared in ''La Caricature'' of 31 May 1831. The king is depicted as an illusionist who uses the ''juste milieu'' and some ''poudre de non-intervention'' to make liberty and revolution vanish. In 1830–31 there were revolutionary uprisings in Italy. The Austrians intervened to suppress the revolts, and the French did nothing to prevent them. The Pope broke his promise to grant the rebels in the Papal States an amnesty. ''La Caracature'' published a cartoon that showed the Pope on his throne surrounded by corpses. Similarly, Philipot published cartoons that associated the French government with that of Tsar Nicholas I when Russia suppressed a revolt in Poland. The fall of Warsaw was announced by Horace Sebastiani, the French foreign minister, as "L'order règne à Varsovie" (Order reigns in Warsaw). The phrase was used as a caption for one of the cartoons. The journal became increasingly vocal in its opposition to Louis-Philippe, and was seized more than twelve times. The publishers were prosecuted, and Philipon was jailed for a year. In 1835 the government passed legislation that forced ''La Caricature'' to cease publication. The journal began publication again in 1838 and continued until 1843. Writing in 1840, William Makepeace Thackeray talked of the "curious contest between the State and M. Philipon's little army."
