"The People Delivered to the Vampire Taxes" is a satirical lithograph created by the Association Mensuelle in 1833. The artwork, housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, depicts a grotesque scene of people being devoured by monstrous creatures. The artist utilizes humor and exaggeration to criticize the corrupt tax system. This lithograph, a prime example of 19th-century political satire, serves as a potent commentary on social injustices and the exploitation of the common man.
