"From your obedient subjects receive on your day of honor these two modest bunches of flowers. They will make you rejoice, since the people of France alone has taken over the costs," plate 486 1835

"From your obedient subjects receive on your day of honor these two modest bunches of flowers. They will make you rejoice, since the people of France alone has taken over the costs," is a lithograph by Honoré Daumier, created in 1835. This satirical print, part of the "Les Robert Macaire" series, criticizes King Louis-Philippe's lavish spending while the French people struggle. The artwork shows the king receiving a gift of flowers from a peasant woman while surrounded by other subjects, all looking dejected and impoverished. Daumier's use of caricature and social commentary exemplifies the style of political satire prevalent in 19th-century France.
