This is a French satirical illustration titled "Les Philanthropes du Jour" (The Philanthropists of the Day). The sketch shows a dramatic scene where two men in a boat are interacting with what appears to be a person pretending to drown in the water. The title and scene suggest this is depicting a scam or staged rescue attempt.

The image shows a boat with two figures, one standing with a pole and another leaning over. In the water, there appears to be someone who is deliberately acting out a drowning scene, with their limbs visible above the water in an exaggerated manner. The background shows buildings along what appears to be a riverbank or waterfront.

The French text at the bottom appears to be dialogue between the characters, suggesting this is a staged rescue attempt for financial gain, mocking false philanthropy. The artwork appears to be a lithograph or similar print technique, characteristic of 19th-century French satirical art.

The style and execution suggest this might be from a series of social commentary pieces, possibly from a French satirical publication of the period.

Overview

The image is a lithograph titled "Les Philanthropes du Jour" (The Philanthropists of the Day). It appears to be a satirical commentary on the motivations behind acts of apparent altruism.

Visual Description

• Setting: The scene takes place on a body of water, likely a river, with a cityscape visible in the background.

• Characters: There are three main figures:

  • Two men are in a small boat. One is rowing, while the other is standing and holding a long pole.
  • A third person is in the water, seemingly drowning. Only their head, part of their upper body, and feet (wearing shoes) are visible.

• Action: The man with the pole is using it to "rescue" the person in the water by holding them with a cloth or something attached to the pole. The expression on the face of the man with the pole is rather unconcerned.

• Composition: The composition is somewhat humorous, with the contrast between the supposedly philanthropic act and the disinterest in the expressions of the men in the boat

Text

The image includes text beneath it which provides context:

• "Tire ferme, Gaspard...y va s'neyer!" - "Pull hard, Gaspard...he's going to drown!"
• "Laissezmoi donc tranquille...vous voyez bien que je sais nager et que je me baigne tranquillement." - "Leave me alone...you can see I know how to swim and am just bathing peacefully."
• "Tire toujours Gaspard...si onles écoulait on n'pourrait jamais en sauver un seul...nous allons le remonter comme ça jusqu'à Bercy et l'eommissaire nous donnera 25 francs pour notre belle action...saus compter le pour boire qui sera a la générosité du bourgeois!" - "Keep pulling, Gaspard...if we listened to them, we'd never save a single one...we'll pull him like this until Bercy, and the commissioner will give us 25 francs for our good deed...not to mention the tip we'll get from the generosity of the bourgeois!"

Interpretation

The image appears to be a critique of those who perform acts of charity for selfish gain rather than genuine compassion. The text highlights this by suggesting that the men in the boat are only "rescuing" the drowning person for the reward they expect to receive.

The image is a lithograph titled "Les Philantropes du Jour," which translates to "The Philanthropists of the Day." It appears to be a satirical or humorous depiction, typical of the style of Honoré Daumier, a renowned French caricaturist.

In the image, two men are in a small boat on a body of water, likely a river or a flooded area. One man is standing and using a long pole to push the boat along, while the other man is seated, holding onto the side of the boat. Both men appear to be dressed in worn, working-class clothing. The standing man is looking down at the water with a somewhat disgruntled expression.

In the background, there are buildings and people, suggesting an urban setting. The buildings are drawn in a simplified, sketch-like manner, adding to the overall satirical tone of the piece.

At the bottom of the image, there is text in French. The text reads:

"-- Tire ferme, Gaspard... y'a c'mayer!
-- Laisserait donc tranquille... vous voyez bien que je sais nager: et que je ne baiséme tranquillement.
-- Tire toujours Gaspard... si on les écoutait on n'pourrait jamais en sauver un seul... nous allons: le remonter comme ça jusqu'à Bercy et l'commissaire nous donnera 25 francs pour notre belle action... sans compter le pour boire qu'a sera à la générosité da bourgeois!"

This dialogue translates roughly to:

"-- Pull hard, Gaspard... there's a tip!
-- Leave me alone... you can see that I know how to swim and that I am calm.
-- Keep pulling, Gaspard... if we listened to them, we would never be able to save anyone... we are going to bring him like this to Bercy and the commissioner will give us 25 francs for our good deed... not to mention the drink that will be given by the generosity of the bourgeois!"

The text adds a layer of humor and social commentary, highlighting the men's motivation for their "philanthropic" act, which seems to be more about personal gain than genuine altruism.
