*Renouvelé de Gulliver*, created in 1866 by Honoré Daumier, is a satirical cartoon referencing Jonathan Swift's *Gulliver's Travels*. The lithograph depicts a Prussian soldier as a giant, towering over a crowd of Lilliputians, who are attempting to tie him down. Daumier, a renowned caricaturist, used his art to criticize political and social injustices, and this piece is a commentary on French anxieties about Prussia’s growing power. The artist's signature, "H.D." appears in the lower left corner, a common feature in Daumier's work.
