Rare Framed Lithograph by Honoré Daumier – Les Gens de Médecine: Le Cortège du Général des Apothicaires – 20th Century Engraving in Black – French Caricature Art
Description:
A rare and finely detailed black-and-white lithograph after the work of celebrated French caricaturist Honoré Daumier (1808–1879).
Titled “Les Gens de Médecine – Le Cortège du Général des Apothicaires” (“The People of Medicine – The Procession of the General of Apothecaries”), this satirical print humorously depicts figures from the medical profession in a mock military procession—one of Daumier’s recurring themes critiquing authority and social institutions.
This 20th-century engraving reproduction captures the expressive linework and wit that made Daumier a master of social commentary.
- Medium: Black lithograph on paper
- Frame size: 20" wide x 16" tall
- Approximate window size: 14 3/4" wide x 10 5/8" tall. (the original print behind the matting is slightly bigger.)
Condition: Very good vintage condition. The unframed print shows minor age toning and water mark to the upper right edge (see photos). The framed version is presented in a simple black frame with a white mat, ready to hang.
Origin: France, mid–20th century
Subject: Satire, caricature, medicine, apothecaries
A witty and historically rich piece of French art, perfect for collectors of caricature, Daumier admirers, or anyone who appreciates 19th-century satire.
