Mr. Cunin Grid...(Cunin-Gridaine) 1833

This lithograph, "Mr. Cunin Grid... (Cunin-Gridaine)" by Honoré Daumier, is a satirical portrayal of a prominent figure from 1833. Daumier, known for his social commentary through caricature, masterfully exaggerates features to create a humorous and critical depiction. The subject, likely a politician or public figure of the time, is shown standing in a formal pose, his oversized head and exaggerated facial expressions highlighting Daumier's satirical intent. This work reflects Daumier's keen observation of social dynamics and his use of caricature as a powerful tool for social commentary.
