Summary[edit]
DescriptionBanchetul noueĭ direcţiĭ la borta rece patronat de Muerilă, Ghimpele, 16 nov 1875.JPG |
English: Banchetul noueĭ direcţiĭ la borta rece patronat de Muerilă ("Banquet of the new direction at the cool hole, with Womanizer as its patron"), cartoon published in Ghimpele, the Romanian liberal magazine. The joke references Junimea, a literary society and conservative political club, whose program was a strong critique of liberal ideology. With this and other cartoons, Ghimpele picks up on rumors that Junimea meetings had degenerated into bacchanals. Junimea leader Titu Maiorescu, who served as Minister of Education, is the central figure; his Ministry is a giant barrel, with naked human legs and a stopper for a sex organ. Maiorescu, who distributes jugs of alcohol among his clients and the loose women entertaining them, is referred to as Muerilă ("Womanizer"), a reference to his involvement in several sex scandals. The "cool hole" is a reference to a famous restaurant in Iaşi city - known in reality as Bolta Rece ("The Cool Vault"), it was managed by Avram Amira and frequented by the Junimea men. |
