"Actualités: Mme. Potard - N'est-il pas vrai, brave turco…" is a lithograph by Honoré Daumier from 1859. The piece depicts a group of people riding in a carriage, one of whom is a black man in Turkish garb. Daumier's signature is clearly visible in the lower left of the image. This print is a satirical commentary on race and the relationship between France and Turkey during the mid-19th century. It is a notable example of Daumier's social commentary and skilled use of lithography to convey his message.
