Ayant attrapé un coup de soleil c. 19th century

"Ayant attrapé un coup de soleil" (Having Caught a Sunstroke), a lithograph by French artist Honoré Daumier, is a satirical portrayal of two military figures. Daumier, known for his political cartoons, uses caricature to highlight the absurdity of war. The exaggerated features and postures of the figures create a humorous yet critical commentary on the French military. Daumier's use of lithography, a printing process popular in the 19th century, allowed for wide distribution of his works, contributing to their impact on the public. This print, along with Daumier’s other works, are an important record of social and political life in 19th-century France.
