Et plus un grain de poudre! ... c. 19th century

"Et plus un grain de poudre!..." (And one more grain of powder!), a lithograph by Honoré Daumier, depicts a comical scene of a hapless hunter. The hunter, clad in a hunting coat and cap, is preoccupied with loading his gun, oblivious to a rabbit sitting calmly in the foreground. The exaggerated features of the hunter and the humor of the situation are characteristic of Daumier's satirical style, which often targeted social injustices and the follies of the bourgeoisie. This print was likely published in a satirical journal, reflecting the social commentary that defined Daumier's career.
