Les Cent Et Un Robert-Macaire... presents a collection of satirical lithographs by Honor Daumier. This series captures the essence of 19th-century French society through the character of Robert Macaire, a symbol of cunning, greed, and the excesses of the bourgeoisie during the July Monarchy. Daumier's sharp wit and artistic skill combine to offer a biting commentary on the social and political landscape of the time. These caricatures, originally published in the journal Le Charivari, remain relevant for their astute observations and enduring humor. The collection showcases Daumier's mastery of visual storytelling and his incisive critique of human nature.
