Dis donc, Macaire, qué que c'est que c'thé... c. 19th century

"Dis donc, Macaire, qué que c'est que c'thé..." is a lithograph by Honoré Daumier from the 19th century. Daumier, known for his satirical social commentary, uses caricature to depict the corruption and hypocrisy of the French society. This specific work, likely part of a larger series, shows a group of men engaged in a shady transaction, possibly related to the exploitation of resources. The use of strong lines and exaggerated features enhances the humorous yet critical nature of the piece, making it a powerful example of Daumier's social realism.
