Dire pourtant que j'avais planté des pommes de terre ... c. 19th century

"Dire pourtant que j'avais planté des pommes de terre..." is a lithograph by Honoré Daumier created in the 19th century. The satirical cartoon depicts a man in a dark suit and hat talking to a woman, who is holding a potato and is surrounded by a pile of potatoes. Daumier’s work is often characterized by its social commentary, and this lithograph may be criticizing the unfairness of the potato trade. The use of lithography, a process for printing images from a stone, was a popular technique used by Daumier to reach a wider audience.
