A tous les coeurs bien nés que la patrie est chère!!! 1838

"A tous les coeurs bien nés que la patrie est chère!!!" (To All Well-Born Hearts for Whom the Fatherland is Dear!), a lithograph by Honoré Daumier, is a satirical political cartoon that critiques the political climate of 1838 France. Daumier, a prominent caricaturist of the time, utilizes a simple yet effective visual language to convey his message. In the lithograph, a man, possibly representing a wealthy citizen, is being forced to flee France, burdened by his belongings, while another figure in the background joyfully greets him at the border. This piece exemplifies Daumier's skill in capturing the social injustices of his era through visual wit, highlighting the stark contrast between the privileged and the less fortunate.
