Musée pour rire no 3, dernier numéro du journal des modes 1812 - 1883

"Musée pour rire no 3, dernier numéro du journal des modes" is a satirical lithograph by Marie-Alexandre Alophe, created between 1812 and 1883. The print shows a group of fashionably dressed individuals walking down the street, but their exaggerated features and poses suggest that Alophe is poking fun at the absurdity of contemporary Parisian fashion. This humorous artwork highlights the use of lithography, a popular printmaking technique in 19th century France, for social commentary and satire. It is currently held in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
