Les boursicotières. Me trouvez-vous bien ... c. 19th century

"Les Boursicotières. Me trouvez-vous bien ...", a lithograph by Honoré Daumier, circa 19th century, is a satirical depiction of stockbrokers or "boursiers", as they were known in French. Daumier uses caricature and humor to critique the greed and vanity of the financial world. The composition features a group of men in top hats, with one of the men prominently displayed, possibly an illustration of the absurdity of the "boursier" lifestyle. The lithograph is a classic example of Daumier's social commentary, which often targeted the wealthy and powerful.
