Plus que ca d'ballon ... Excusez! ... c. 19th century

"Plus que ça d'ballon ... Excusez!" is a lithograph by Honoré Daumier created around the 19th century. It depicts a woman in an extremely large dress, with her skirt resembling a large balloon, walking down the street. This is an example of Daumier's satirical work, where he used caricature to comment on societal norms and fashion trends of his time. The exaggerated size of the woman's dress, coupled with the title, suggests a humorous critique of the impracticality of the fashion in the 19th century. Daumier was a well-known artist who often focused on the absurdity of everyday life, especially those of the middle class in 19th-century Paris.
