“- Yes, they would plunder this orphan, whom I cannot necessarily describe as being young, since he is fifty-seven years old, but it is no less an orphan... yet ..... I am, reassured knowing that justice always keeps an open eye on all guilty manoeuvers....,” plate 11 from Les Gens De Justice 1845

“- Yes, they would plunder this orphan, whom I cannot necessarily describe as being young, since he is fifty-seven years old, but it is no less an orphan... yet ..... I am, reassured knowing that justice always keeps an open eye on all guilty manoeuvers....,” plate 11 from *Les Gens de Justice* is a lithograph by Honoré Daumier from 1845. This satirical print depicts a courtroom scene where three judges, wearing their robes and hats, are all asleep during a trial. The scene is a commentary on the injustice and corruption of the French legal system during this period, which Daumier often depicted in his work. The use of lithography allowed Daumier to create this image that would have been easily and widely distributed, spreading his political messages.
