"Just 15 cents for a full bath… what a deal!", is a lithograph print by Honoré Daumier from his series “Croquis Parisiens” (1856). This satirical print depicts a crowded, open-air bathhouse in Paris, with people crammed in waiting for their turn. The image mocks the crowded conditions and low price of public baths, poking fun at the social and economic inequalities of 19th-century Paris. Daumier, known for his social commentary through caricature, captured the realities of urban life in a humorous yet critical light.
