This is a 19th century Honore Daumier lithographic caricature/satire entitled "Une Partie de Campagne" (Part of the Campaign), plate 59 from the series "Moeurs Conjugales" (Conjugal Customs) in Le Charivari, published in Paris by Aubert et Cie in 1842.
This rare Daumier lithograph is presented in a silver wood frame with inner and outer black trim and a mauve mat. The frame measures 20" high by 16.25" wide by 0.63" deep. There are scattered spots, but the print is otherwise in very good condition.
Le Charivari was an illustrated magazine that included caricatures, political cartoons and reviews. After 1835, when the government banned political caricature, Le Charivari began publishing satires of everyday life. The name refers to the folk practice of holding a charivari, a loud, riotous parade, to shame or punish wrongdoers. The most famous contributor to Le Charivari was Honoré-Victorin Daumier (1808-1879), who was a French printmaker, caricaturist, painter, and sculptor. His work often focused on French common people, the legal profession and in particular judges, as well as politicians, frequently communicating his views on the social and political life in France in the 19th century. Baudelaire stated that "he was one of the most important men, not only, I would say, in caricature, but also in modern art". Daumier's works are found in many of the world's leading art museums, including the Louvre, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, The British Museum and the Rijksmuseum.
