"Caricature of Alexandre Dumas père (1802–1870) as a Musketeer" is a notable illustration by the French caricaturist André Gill, which appeared on the front cover of "La Lune," a 19th-century French satirical magazine. The caricature depicts the renowned French writer Alexandre Dumas, best known for his historical novels such as "The Three Musketeers" and "The Count of Monte Cristo," in the garb of a musketeer, thus playfully referencing one of his most famous works.

André Gill, born Louis-Alexandre Gosset de Guines (1840–1885), was a prominent caricaturist of the time, known for his distinctive style that often exaggerated the features of his subjects while maintaining their recognizability. His work on "La Lune" was particularly influential, as the magazine was a key outlet for political and social satire in the period leading up to the French Third Republic.

The caricature of Dumas is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its cultural implications. By portraying Dumas as a musketeer, Gill emphasizes the close association between the author and his creations, highlighting how Dumas had become almost synonymous with the adventurous and chivalrous characters he penned. Moreover, the illustration serves as a testament to the celebrity status of Dumas at the time, as his likeness was recognizable enough to be a subject of caricature.

This work is emblematic of the broader cultural landscape in France during the second half of the 19th century, where literature, art, and political commentary intersected. The caricature remains an important piece of historical media, offering insights into the era's public figures, the role of satire, and the social dynamics of the period.
