"La Caisse de Grève" is a notable caricature created by the Swiss-born French artist Théophile Alexandre Steinlen. This artwork appeared in the inaugural issue of the satirical magazine L'Assiette au Beurre, published in Paris in 1901. Steinlen, renowned for his poignant and socially conscious illustrations, utilized his artistic prowess to comment on the socio-political climate of his time.

L'Assiette au Beurre, which translates to "The Butter Plate," was a weekly magazine known for its radical and often provocative content, addressing issues such as social injustice, political corruption, and the struggles of the working class. The magazine quickly gained a reputation for its bold and unflinching critique of the establishment, and Steinlen's contributions were instrumental in shaping its voice.

"La Caisse de Grève," which can be translated as "The Strike Fund," is a powerful example of Steinlen's ability to blend artistry with activism. The caricature likely depicts the financial hardships faced by workers during strikes, a common occurrence in the early 20th century as labor movements sought to improve working conditions and wages. Steinlen's work often highlighted the plight of the proletariat, and this piece is no exception, using sharp lines and evocative imagery to convey a message of solidarity and resistance.

Steinlen's illustrations are characterized by their attention to detail and emotional depth, often featuring expressive figures that capture the essence of human struggle and resilience. "La Caisse de Grève" exemplifies these qualities, making it a significant piece in both Steinlen's oeuvre and the history of political caricature.

The impact of Steinlen's work extends beyond its immediate historical context, as it continues to be studied and appreciated for its artistic merit and its role in the broader narrative of social and political commentary through art. "La Caisse de Grève" remains a poignant reminder of the power of visual art to influence and reflect societal change.
