“- You are not wearing a Talma yet? - No, I remain loyal to the overcoat, it's more flattering to my waistline,” plate 1 from Les Bons Parisiens 1852

"“ - You are not wearing a Talma yet? - No, I remain loyal to the overcoat, it's more flattering to my waistline," plate 1 from *Les Bons Parisiens* is a lithograph by Honoré Daumier, created in 1852. The print depicts two Parisians in conversation, satirizing fashion and social trends of the time. This plate, like the other works from the series, served as social commentary, a hallmark of Daumier's artistic output. The lithograph, now part of The Art Institute of Chicago's collection, is a testament to Daumier's keen observation of Parisian life and his mastery of caricature. *Les Bons Parisiens* was initially published in a series of lithographs that provided biting social critique through humorous depictions of upper-class Parisian society.
