Sou..., plate 172 from Célébrités de la Caricature 1831

Honoré Daumier's lithograph *Sou...*, plate 172 from the series *Célébrités de la Caricature*, is a satirical portrait of the French Marshal, the Duke of Dalmatia, in which Daumier exaggerates his features for comedic effect. This image is a great example of Daumier's use of caricature as a way to critique political and social issues. Daumier's work was often controversial, and he was even imprisoned for his political cartoons, yet these lithographs were highly successful in popular culture and the visual arts. *Sou...*, from 1831, is one of over 1,000 such pieces.
