This lithograph, "The Pupils of the Institute Pascareau are trying their new school uniform which makes them look a little like the great Napoleon and a lot like little newspaper boys, plate 25 from Professeurs Et Moutards", is a satirical piece by the French artist Honoré Daumier, possibly created in 1846. It depicts a group of young boys in a new uniform, with their oversized hats and coats creating an exaggerated caricature, which Daumier was known for. The piece is part of the series "Professeurs Et Moutards," a collection of lithographic prints by Daumier that satirized the societal issues of the time. The scene highlights the absurdity of the new uniforms, drawing parallels between the boys and both Napoleon and newspaper boys, alluding to the sociopolitical dynamics of the period.
