Framed.<br />This lithograph depicts the bleeding purging and medication of a man. The print shows from left to right: King Louis-Philippe a coachman the French people Ferdinand Duc d'Orléans and Marshal Lobau with his famous syringe. Louis-Philippe in 1833 bleeds a mail messenger postillon who has fallen off his horse thereby saving his life. The King had learned the art of blood-letting in a hospital in his youth and always carried a bleeding-knife on him. Symbolically it is not the postillon but rather the French nation which is being bled.<br />Brandeis Univ. Chez Aubert, La Caricature

This protean fresco was directed by editor Léon Curmer already known for the publishing success of Paul et Virginie between 1836 and 1838. Curmer is represented here by an article L'éditeur in volume IV written by Elias Regnault. The latter takes example in Louis-Sebastien Mercier's Tableau de Paris published in 1781 whose vision is even further extended by the representation of French provinces in Les Français. Thanks to Curmer the work finds an even deeper meaning: the editor has widened his frame and instead of letting a few fleeting portraits get lost in the immense daily whirlwind that engulfs all things he has sought to bring together the most salient physiognomies of that time.

Notes: Honoré-Victorin Daumier 1808 – 1879 was a French printmaker caricaturist painter and sculptor whose many works offer commentary on social and political life of 19th century France. ‘Daumier produced more than 4000 lithographs 1000 wood engravings 1000 drawings . . perhaps best known for his caricatures of political figures and satires on the behavior of his countrymen. <br>‘During the reign of Louis Philippe Charles Philipon launched the comic journal 'La Caricature'. Daumier joined its staff which included such powerful artists as Devéria Raffet and Grandville and started upon his pictorial campaign of satire targeting the foibles of the bourgeoisie the corruption of the law and the incompetence of a blundering government. His caricature of the king as Gargantua led to Daumier's imprisonment for six months at Ste Pelagie in 1832. Soon after the publication of 'La Caricature' was discontinued but Philipon provided a new field for Daumier's activity when he founded the 'Le Charivari'.<br> <br>‘Daumier produced his social caricatures for 'Le Charivari' in which he held bourgeois society up to ridicule in the figure of Robert Macaire hero of a popular melodrama. In another series 'L'histoire ancienne' he took aim at the constraining pseudo-classicism of the art of the period. In 1848 Daumier embarked again on his political campaign still in the service of 'Le Charivari' which he left in 1863 and rejoined in 1864.<br> ‘Around the mid-1840s Daumier started publishing his famous caricatures depicting members of the legal profession known as 'Les Gens de Justice' a scathing satire about judges defendants attorneys and corrupt greedy lawyers in general. A number of extremely rare albums appeared on white paper covering 39 different legal themes of which 37 had previously been published in the 'Charivari'. It is said that Daumier's own experience as an employee in a bailiff's office during his youth may have influenced his rather negative attitude towards the legal profession.<br> <br>‘In 1834 he produced the lithograph 'Rue Transnonain 15 April 1834' depicting the massacre in the rue transnoin which was part of the April 1834 riots in Paris. It was designed for the subscription publication 'L’Association Mensuelle'. The profits were to promote freedom of the press and defrayed legal costs of a lawsuit against the satirical politically progressive journal 'Le Charivari' to which Daumier contributed regularly. The police discovered the print hanging in the window of printseller Ernest Jean Aubert in the Galerie Véro-Dodat passageway in 1st arrondissement and subsequently tracked down and confiscated as many of the prints they could find along with the original lithographic stone on which the image was drawn. Existing prints of Rue Transnonain are survivors of this effort.<br> <br>The present collection is from series published in the Charivari: ACTUALITES CARICATURES DU JOUR.
