Satanées salades ... c. 19th century

"Satanées salades..." (Damn Salads) is a satirical lithograph by Honoré Daumier from the 19th century. This cartoon showcases Daumier's signature style of caricature, using exaggerated features and poses to comment on contemporary issues. In the image, a man pours water on a row of thirsty "salads", representing the endless demands of the French public. The text below the image reads: "Damn salads! I spend all my days pouring water on them, and they're always thirsty!" This humorous commentary on political satire, social commentary, and French society remains relevant even today, highlighting Daumier's masterful ability to capture the complexities of human nature through visual wit.
