Description: Original Honore DAUMIER lithograph, Le Charivari, 1851, 14" x 9 3/4" - 249 Signed on stone, LL: h D Honore Daumier, French (February 26, 1808 – February 10, 1879) was a French painter, sculptor, and printmaker, whose many works offer commentary on the social and political life in France, from the Revolution of 1830 to the fall of the second Napoleonic Empire in 1870. He earned a living throughout most of his life producing caricatures and cartoons of political figures and satirizing the behavior of his countrymen in newspapers and periodicals, for which he became well known in his lifetime and is still known today. Two years after the founding of the illustrated newspaper LA CARICATURE, CHARLES PHILIPON (1800-1862), introduced a new publication (in Dec. 1832), which was to appear daily: LE CHARIVARI. DAUMIER’s contribution to the success of LE CHARIVARI was immense: During 40 years he delivered around 3’900 lithographs and hundreds of wood engravings. His first one appeared – unknown to many- on 15.12.1832 (DR 23), however his major regular oeuvre for the CHARIVARI started with DR 136 on January 24, 1833. His last print for the CHARIVARI was executed as DR 3946 on 18.12.1875. Each week he received between 3 and 5 lithographic stones from the CHARIVARI. Due to the character of the illustrations, he had to work fast. He drew onto the stone directly and very often numbered the stones for reference.
