Another way to make use of the new petticoats that have lately become fashionable, plate 294 from Actualités 1856

This lithograph by Honoré Daumier, titled "Another way to make use of the new petticoats that have lately become fashionable," is a satirical commentary on fashion trends in 19th-century France. The image depicts women using their large, voluminous skirts as makeshift flying contraptions, highlighting the absurdity of the exaggerated fashion of the time. Daumier's work often critiqued social and political issues, and this print playfully mocks the impracticality of these wide, cumbersome gowns while also showcasing his masterful use of line and detail.
