Author: DAUMIER, Honore (1807-79)
Title: Mais Garcon C'Est Indigne... Je Prends Un Verre de Bierre, Et on Me Prend Mon Chapeau...
Description: Paris, Le Charivari, 1839. Lithograph. 4to (8 1/8" X 11 1/8"). Very good. Faint age toning only. Tipped to backing board and cream paper matte, old but nice and faintly age toned. This is the December 7, 1839 lithograph (trimmed) of Plate 15 in this illustrated newspaper's "Emotions Parisiennes" (Emotions of Paris) series -- a bold, clean impression. A flustered elderly gentleman at left, hat pulled down over his eyes, addresses a waiter clutching a serving tray in a restaurant. Partial title cited above continues: "que voulez-vous que je fasse de ca; j'anne mieux une marmte: donnez-moi une marmite!" An attractive copy, with news text and advertisements on verso. "Le Charivari" (literally, "Hullabaloo") was a satirical newspaper that began in 1832 and continued until 1935, publishing reviews as well as political cartoons and caricatures such as Daumier's. .
