Honoré Daumier and Charivari

Monsieur Arthur: - Oh Pamela! I am burning with love for you! The husband herbalist: - A mallow... of the family of Malvaceae... a sedative... I don't believe my friend Arthur has this specimen in the herbarium he asked me to build for him.

1851

Honoré Daumier

To imagine that next year I will be exhibited and that everybody in Paris will see me... its is kind of flattering, isn't it Dear? - I'm just unhappy that you won't be wearing your neck-tie... it looks a bit sloppy... if there is still some time, why don't you ask the sculptor to add on your stand-up collar.

1859

Honoré Daumier

You must admit that it is a bit boring, Monsieur Loustalot, to stand like this all day with your arms up like that holding the signal-flag?... - You are telling me!.. and I'm so stuffed up with a cold! I needed to blow my nose for the past 45 minutes..... but I don't dare .... it might endanger the safety of the train.... I'll ask the next passenger who happens to pass by to do me this favour.
