"What do you think of the expedition?" from Metamorphoses of the Day 1829

"What do you think of the expedition?" from *Metamorphoses of the Day*, 1829, by J. J. Grandville, is a satirical print featuring a lion-headed gentleman reading a newspaper while being attended to by a parrot-headed man. This work is a prime example of Grandville's signature style of caricature, known for its absurdist humor and animalistic figures. Through these anthropomorphic characters, Grandville provides commentary on contemporary social and political issues. The print is part of a series of 101 images published under the title "Metamorphoses of the Day", which used caricature to mock the excesses and absurdities of French society during the early 19th century.
