Title:	Nasty Old Fellow You Shan't!
Artist:	Pigal, Edme Jean (Paris, 1798 - Sens, 1873)
Date:	c. 1825 - 1830
Medium:	Original Hand-Colored Lithograph
Note:	Edme Jean Pigal: A major French nineteenth century artist and caricaturist, Edme Jean Pigal studied art in Paris in the studio of Baron Gros. He first exhibited his paintings at the Paris Salon in 1827 and continued to annually exhibit his art there for more than thirty years. Edme Jean Pigal's early art was mainly in the medium of lithography. After 1838 he turned more towards painting, particularly religious and historical scenes commissioned by the French government. His last years were spent as a professor of art at the Lycee in Sens.
	Although he was a fine painter it is the lithographic art of Edme Jean Pigal which remains his finest legacy. Beatrice Farwell writes, "From the late 1820's to the late 1830's, he (Pigal) produced numerous lithographs caricaturing contemporary customs and social types, in which he ridiculed the hypocrisy of the bourgeoisie and the vulgarity of the lower classes. His favorite characters were the street urchins of Paris, servants, coachmen and doormen, and lecherous old men." *
	Edme Pigal's early lithographic work (c. 1825-1830) concentrates upon the actions of one or two main figures and provides little or no background setting. Such is the case with Nasty Old Fellow you shan't. His lithographs created for individual sale (as opposed to those appearing in the journals) were most often hand-colored before publication.
	In some respects Edme Jean Pigal's earthy brand of caricature was closer to the English satirical art of Gillray, Cruikshank and Rowlandson than to the political and social satires of his French contemporaries, such as Daumier and Gavarni. Perhaps for this reason Pigal's lithographs were very popular in Britain and some, such as this original example, were also published there with the caption changed to English. Nasty Old Fellow you shan't probably originates from Moeurs parisiennes (Parisian Manners), consisting of one hundred lithographs first published in Paris around 1825.
