Description
English: "champignons républicains" (republican i.e. revolutionary mushrooms) - French political caricature, a. 1799. The monarchies of Europe, personified by the rulers of Russia, Prussia and Austria and their capitals Saint Petersburg, Berlin and Vienna, watch how after the rise of the French First Republic, all over Europe republics with French support spring up like mushrooms. The Prussian king exclaims: 'God, how quick they rise, it's frightening!' The Russian tsar says, fork and knife ready: 'That will be nice to eat!' The Austrian emperor warns him: 'Don't touch them, godfather, they are poisonous!' The Russian tsar has only recently joined the Second Coalition against France (1798) and hungers for conquest, whilst both German princes have already learnt their lesson after their many defeats in the War of the First Coalition (1792–1797).
Deutsch: "champignons républicains" (republikanische d.h. revolutionäre Pilze) - Politische Karikatur aus Frankreich, um 1799: Die Monarchien Europas, ihre Herrscher und Hauptstädte (St. Petersburg, Berlin und Wien) sind von einem Meer neuer Republiken umgeben: Namentlich in der Mitte die grosse französische Mutterrepublik, um sie herum (v.l.n.r.) die kleinere römische, parthenopeische, batavische, helvetische, ligurische und cisalpinische Tochterrepublik. Die Karikatur spielt bildhaft mit dem im Französischen wie im Deutschen gängigen Sprichwort: "Wie die Pilze aus dem Boden schiessen". Der König von Preussen sagt: "Gott, wie das Zeug aus dem Boden schiesst, entsetzlich"; der russische Zar: "Das gäbe eine ziemlich leckere Mahlzeit ab"; der österreichische Kaiser: "Nicht anfassen, Gevatter, das ist giftig!" Der russische Zar, noch nicht lange in die antifranzösische Kriegskoalition eingetreten, hat Appetit auf Eroberungen, wogegen die beiden deutschen Fürsten, nach den vielen Niederlagen seit 1792, ihre Lektion bereits gelernt haben.
Nederlands: "champignons républicains" (republikeinse d.w.z. revolutionaire paddenstoelen). Op deze Franse politieke karikatuur uit 1799 kijken de monarchieën van Europa, verpersoonlijkt door de vorsten van Pruisen, Oostenrijk en Rusland en hun hoofdsteden Sint-Petersburg, Berlijn en Wenen, toe hoe in navolging van de Eerste Franse Republiek overal in Europa met Franse steun republieken als paddenstoelen uit de grond schieten. De Pruisische koning roept uit: 'God, wat schieten ze snel omhoog, angstaanjagend!' De Russische tsaar zegt met vork en mes in de aanslag: 'Dat zal lekker zijn om op te eten!' De Oostenrijkse keizer waarschuwt: 'Raak ze niet aan, peetvader, ze zijn giftig!' De Russische tsaar heeft zich pas net aangesloten bij de Tweede Coalitie tegen Frankrijk (1798) en heeft veroveringshonger, terwijl de beide Duitse vorsten na de vele nederlagen in de Eerste Coalitieoorlog (1792–1797) hun lesje inmiddels geleerd hebben.
