“- But I keep telling you that I cannot move my feet in these boots! - Don't worry, it'll come, it'll come...,” plate 8 from Tout Ce Qu'on Voudra 1847

This lithograph, “- But I keep telling you that I cannot move my feet in these boots! - Don't worry, it'll come, it'll come...,” is plate 8 from Honoré Daumier's satirical series *Tout Ce Qu'on Voudra* (1847). Daumier was a renowned French artist known for his incisive social commentary, often depicting the foibles and absurdities of the upper classes. This plate depicts a scene of two men, one clearly exasperated by the other’s inability to walk in his boots. The composition, with its exaggerated figures and dramatic poses, heightens the humor and highlights Daumier's skillful use of caricature. The inscription below the figures emphasizes the absurdity of the situation, solidifying its place as a humorous critique of social customs and pretension.
