Les marches du nouveau trone d'Allemagne 1871

"Les marches du nouveau trone d'Allemagne," a lithograph by Honoré Daumier from 1871, depicts a satirical scene of a triumphant Germany ascending to power over a defeated France. Daumier's caricature uses bold lines and exaggerated figures to emphasize the political tension of the time. The image is a powerful commentary on the Franco-Prussian War, capturing the artist's perspective on the shifting power dynamics in Europe. This work showcases Daumier's mastery of political satire and his ability to use graphic art to comment on current events.
