Why do you always come to annoy Papa like this, M. Bachu. . . c. 19th century

Editor: This print, "Why do you always come to annoy Papa like this, M. Bachu..." by Paul Gavarni, depicts a father and son. The cross-hatching is quite detailed and gives the figures weight. What stands out to you? Curator: I notice how the lithographic process allows for mass production, distributing this scene of domestic tension to a wide audience. Consider the societal context: how does this image reflect or critique the relationship between labor, class, and family dynamics in 19th-century France? Editor: That's a great point! So, the medium itself influences how we see the message about family. Curator: Exactly. The accessibility of the print shapes its social impact.
