Description

Second state (of 3), with text. From "Croquis Parisiens". Text below image :
"- Est-ce le garçon..... faut-il lui demander une assiette?...
- Ma foi, je ne te le conseille pas..... je crois plutôt que c'est un notaire...... on vient de le chercher pour un dineur qui se sera cru empoisonné et qui aura voulu faire son testament au dessert.."
(- Is this the waiter... do you think I can ask him for a plate? - Really, I can't recommend that... I think he is probably a notary... They have probably called him in to see a guest who fears having been poisoned and who wants to draw up his last will during desert.)

In 1855 Daumier started publishing his famous caricatures "Ces Bons Parisiens" (These good Parisians) a series consisting of 11 prints, of which 10 appeared between March 1855 and May 1858 in the Charivari and one in January 1860. A number of extremely rare albums appeared on white paper.

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.

Some of the most asked FAQ by our clients

Librairie Loeb-Larocque specializes in maps, atlases, and travel books from the 16th to 19th centuries.
The Librairie was founded in 1958 by Louis Loeb-Larocque. Originally, he arrived in France from Germany shortly after World War II. He started an antiquarian map and book shop in Paris, specializing in early maps, atlases, travel books, and prints. The shop was located at Rue Le Peletier until 1996, and was frequently visited by collectors and fellow dealers from all parts of the world.
At present, the office is located at 31 rue de Tolbiac in Paris in the lively 13th district, a 5-minute walk from the Bibliothéque Nationale de France (Metro Line 14).
We welcome visitors to our shop by appointment, Monday through Friday.
