"All voters, big and small, gather to humbly coax each other..." is a satirical lithograph by J. J. Grandville, part of his series "Les Petites Misères de la Vie Humaine" (The Little Miseries of Human Life), created in 1843. The artwork depicts a group of men, likely voters, engaged in a seemingly absurd interaction under a covered structure. The caricature-like figures and exaggerated gestures highlight the absurdity of political maneuvering. This print exemplifies Grandville's witty social commentary, offering a humorous critique of the political landscape of 19th-century France.
