Encore une heure!! 1837

"Encore une heure!!" (One Hour Again!), created in 1837 by Honoré Daumier, is a satirical lithograph that depicts a National Guard soldier, likely waiting for a change of duty. The soldier, caricatured in a top hat and spectacles, holds a musket and checks his watch with a weary expression. Daumier, a celebrated French artist and social commentator, often used lithography to capture the lives and struggles of ordinary Parisians. His work satirizes the absurdity of bureaucracy and the tedium of military life.
