Si la patience était bannie du reste ... c. 19th century

This lithograph, titled "Si la Patience était bannie du reste ...", is a satirical depiction of a crowded train station by the renowned French artist Honoré Daumier. Created in the 19th century, the artwork humorously exaggerates the features of Parisians waiting patiently in line. Daumier, known for his caricatures and social commentary, captured the essence of everyday life in 19th-century France through his expressive and slightly distorted figures. The scene, though fictional, offers a glimpse into the bustling social life of Paris.
