Three Pears and an Apple
David Johnson
National Gallery of Art
The caricature of Louis-Philippe I as a pear, created by Charles Philipon in 1831 and published in La Caricature under the title La Poire the same year, gained widespread popularity during the July Monarchy and remains linked to the king. The symbol's popularity does not stem from any pre-existing association of the pear with a specific meaning, but rather from its graphic design. It is often mistakenly attributed to Honoré Daumier, though Charles Philipon claimed authorship, first using the image in November 1831 during a trial concerning press freedom.
