Voila bien des oeufs de cassés... 1866

"Voila bien des oeufs de cassés...," or "There are a lot of broken eggs..." is a lithograph by Honoré Daumier from 1866. It depicts two figures, one cooking a pan of eggs on a stove while another watches, surrounded by a pile of cracked eggs. The work satirizes the political situation in France at the time, the title punning on the political turmoil of the Second Empire. The image humorously suggests that the French state was scrambling to create order out of chaos. Daumier was known for his political cartoons and his sharp social commentary through his art.
