Description: This is an Honore Daumier (1808 - 1879) Lithograph titled, "So Goes His Story". This Lithograph appears to be in excellent condition and is frame in a black wood frame, protected under glass. The Frame does show signs of age and handling with some dings and nicks, but overall is solid and in good condition. The Frame measures 17 1/2" tall, by 15 3/4" wide. The Lithograph alone measures 9" tall by 8 1/2" wide. There is an information paper glued to the back, which reads at top, "This Daumier Lithograph is from this old portfolio: (Portfolio information in German; Rough translation is; "Honore Daumier, Law and Court, Four Prints, This book came through Hyperionverlag of Berlin in the Winter of 1918 - 1919. 500 of these were created of which this is number 201. With an introduction by Emil Waldman, Hyperionverlag / Berlin. ) Then at the bottom reads; "Other Daumier Lithographs, including first editions, may be obtained from: The Rare Print Wagon. Known chiefly as a political and social satirist, Honoré DAUMIER (1808-1879) used the printmaking process of lithography, still relatively new at the time, to contribute cartoons and caricatures to French news weeklies. 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. Most of the items I sell are estate finds, and are presented to you in, as is, as found condition. They are described to the best of my knowledge. Some wear is to be expected, unless described as flawless or mint. I cannot know everything about every item I offer, I do inspect each item and list all known flaws or damage. So please take a good look at the photos and ask questions if need be. #6B/70 LBE9 42919
