Excerpt from L'Estampe Satirique en France Pendant les Guerres de Religion: Essai sur les Origines de la Caricature Politique L'id???e de la caricature remontait ??? une ???poque tr???s recul???e. En Egypte, il y avait eu ??? l'???poque de la XIX??? dy nastie tout un groupe de papyrus satiriques importants. Un de ces monuments appartient au mus???e de Turin. Prisse l'a d???crit ainsi Dans un premier groupe, quatre animaux, un ???ne, un lion, un singe, un crocodile forment un quatuor avec des instruments de musique. Un ???ne, v???tu et arm??? comme un pharaon, le sceptre en main, re???oit majestueusement les offrandes que vient lui apporter un chat amen??? par un boeuf. Au-dessous, diff???rentes sc???nes parmi lesquelles une forteresse, d???fendue par une arm???e de chats, vaincue par une l???gion de rats que commande un chef mont??? sur un char tra???n??? par deux levrettes. C'est le monde renvers??? ou la r???volte de l'oppr1m??? contre l'oppresseur. Un papyrus du British Museum, assez sem blable ??? celui de Turin, repr???sente des oies conduites par un chat. On avait voulu voir dans ces sc???nes de pr??? tendues caricatures o??? la religion et la royaut??? ???taient tourn???es en d???rision. Mais suivant M. Perrot, il y a exag???ration, car l'esprit ???gyptien n'aurait jamais mis en question l'autorit??? du roi, ni celle du pr???tre.
