"- Tomorrow we will study Saturn. I want you to pay special attention to this great planet.... which in all likelihood you will never in your life have the opportunity to see!," plate 18 from Professeurs Et Moutards 1846

This lithograph, part of the series *Professeurs Et Moutards* (Professors and Mustards), by Honoré Daumier, depicts a classroom scene. A professor lectures to a class of students, while pointing at a globe of Saturn. Daumier’s satirical wit is evident in the bored expressions of the students, underscoring the absurdity of their lesson and the inherent tedium of formal education. Daumier’s use of lithography, a popular printmaking process at the time, allowed for the wide dissemination of his work, making social critique accessible to a broader audience.
