A droite ou a gauche? 1866

"A droite ou a gauche?" (Right or Left?) is an 1866 lithograph by Honoré Daumier. The print satirizes the political landscape of France, depicting a man facing a fork in the road, with signposts leading to "The People," "The Press," and "Liberty." The man's confused expression highlights the difficulty of navigating political ideologies and social issues, a theme that resonated with Daumier's contemporaries. The stark, graphic style of the print, characteristic of Daumier's work, further emphasizes the artist's social commentary and satirical intent.
