Politicians

Artikelnummer 10172687

This volume showcases Honoré Daumier’s lithographs under the theme of political figures and satire. Most of these caricatures originally appeared in Le Charivari, the influential French satirical daily newspaper founded in 1832 by Charles Philipon. Le Charivari served as a primary outlet for Daumier’s sharp visual commentaries on political life during the July Monarchy and beyond. Through biting humor and expressive line work, Daumier exposes the follies, ambitions, and hypocrisies of 19th-century politicians, offering a timeless critique of power and public office.
