La parisiens dans l'attente de la ...comète c. 19th century

"Les Parisiens dans l'attente de la fameuse comète" is a lithograph by Honoré Daumier from the 19th century, depicting a group of Parisians looking up at the night sky. The work satirizes the public's fascination with celestial events and their tendency to believe in the supernatural. Daumier's use of caricature and social commentary was characteristic of his style, which often reflected the social and political realities of his time. The lithograph provides a glimpse into the lives of everyday Parisians, their anxieties and their hopes, and their fascination with the unknown.
