"Order prevails in Warsaw" is a notable satirical lithograph created by Charles Joseph Traviès de Villers in 1831. This artwork serves as a poignant critique of the comments made by French Minister of War, General Horace François Bastien Sébastiani, following the brutal suppression of the November Uprising in Warsaw by Russian forces. The November Uprising, which began in 1830, was a significant insurrection by Polish nationals against the Russian Empire's dominance, aiming to restore Poland's sovereignty. However, the uprising was met with severe military retaliation, culminating in the storming of Warsaw in September 1831.

In the aftermath, General Sébastiani, in an attempt to downplay the severity of the situation and perhaps to maintain diplomatic decorum, infamously declared, "L'ordre règne à Varsovie" ("Order prevails in Warsaw"). This statement was widely perceived as a gross understatement of the violence and repression that had occurred, and it sparked outrage and criticism across Europe.

Traviès de Villers, a French artist known for his sharp wit and keen eye for political satire, captured the essence of this controversy through his lithograph. The artwork vividly portrays the grim reality behind Sébastiani's words, juxtaposing the minister's placid declaration with the chaotic and brutal scenes of the Russian crackdown. Through his incisive visual commentary, Traviès de Villers not only condemned the actions of the Russian forces but also highlighted the complacency and insensitivity of European political leaders towards the plight of the Polish people.

The lithograph stands as a powerful example of 19th-century political satire, using art as a medium to challenge and critique political rhetoric and actions. It remains a significant historical document, reflecting the tensions and sentiments of the time, and continues to be studied for its artistic and historical value.
