Created in 1839 by the talented artist Honore Daumier, this engraving is a true masterpiece of its time. The image transports us to a world where large drawings are reduced in size but not in impact. Accompanied by a comic and narrative written by journalists Maurice Alhoy and Louis Huart, these illustrations come alive with their vivid storytelling.
