"I Have Become Terribly Powerful... Sir Is Very Proud of His Uniform" is a notable work by the French artist Henri Bonaventure Monnier (1799–1877). Monnier was a multifaceted artist, known for his skills as a caricaturist, illustrator, and playwright. This particular piece reflects Monnier's sharp wit and his ability to critique social mores through visual art.

The work is a lithograph, a medium that Monnier often employed to disseminate his satirical takes on French society. Created during the 19th century, a period rife with political upheaval and social change in France, Monnier's art captured the essence of the times with humor and critical insight. "I Have Become Terribly Powerful... Sir Is Very Proud of His Uniform" is exemplary of his style, which often included caricatures of bourgeois life and the pretensions of the lower middle class.

In this lithograph, Monnier depicts a figure that is likely reveling in his newfound authority, suggested by the title's reference to power and pride in a uniform. The artwork serves as a commentary on the societal importance placed on status symbols and the vanity that can accompany positions of power. The exaggerated features and the posture of the character are typical of Monnier's approach to caricature, emphasizing the absurdity of the subject's self-importance.

Henri Monnier's work remains significant in the history of French art, particularly in the context of the July Monarchy (1830–1848), under the reign of Louis-Philippe, where his art served as a vehicle for social commentary. "I Have Become Terribly Powerful... Sir Is Very Proud of His Uniform" is a testament to Monnier's enduring legacy as a keen observer and critic of the human condition, utilizing the power of visual satire to reflect and critique the society of his time.
