Tiens papa! ... un singe! ... c. 19th century

"Tiens papa! ... un singe! ..." is a satirical lithograph created by Honoré Daumier in the 19th century. The work depicts a man and his son at a swimming pool, shocked by the presence of a black man swimming in the pool. Daumier's work often addressed social injustices and this piece highlights racial prejudice in 19th century France. The use of simple lines and shading emphasizes the stark contrast between the two figures, creating a poignant and thought-provoking image.
