Allongeons le pas ... voila ceux hommes ... c. 19th century

"Allongeons le pas ... voila deux hommes ..." is a lithograph by Honoré Daumier, a prominent French artist known for his satirical caricatures. This particular work, part of a series titled "Les Alarmistes et Les Alarmés", depicts a group of people on a city street, their exaggerated expressions and poses conveying a sense of anxiety and panic. The composition is simple yet effective, utilizing bold lines and shading to highlight the individual's emotions. Daumier's works often criticized the social injustices of his time, and this print likely satirizes the fear-mongering and paranoia prevalent in 19th-century society.
