Fumeurs et priseurs c. 19th century

"Fumeurs et Priseurs" (Smokers and Snuff Takers) is a satirical lithograph by Honoré Daumier from the 19th century. The print depicts four Chinese men engaging in various forms of tobacco use, with exaggerated features and expressions. Daumier's use of caricature and exaggerated gestures highlights the social and cultural prejudices prevalent in 19th-century Europe. This work is a testament to Daumier's keen eye for social commentary and his ability to capture the essence of human foibles through his art.
