Les burgraves allant en guerre c. 19th century

"Les Burgraves Allant en Guerre" is a satirical lithograph by Honoré Daumier, created in the 19th century. It depicts four figures, caricatured as medieval knights, marching toward a hilltop inscribed with "Suffrage Universel" (Universal Suffrage). Daumier was a renowned political cartoonist and this piece likely mocks the political climate of the time, using humor to criticize the elite. The use of a bold, graphic style with heavy lines and exaggerated features is characteristic of Daumier's work. This print is a great example of his talent for social commentary and visual wit.
