Le Constitutionnel et le Juif errant 1844

"Le Constitutionnel et le Juif errant" is a lithograph by Honoré Daumier from 1844. The image depicts a caricature of a "Constitutionnel" journalist (left) and a Jewish man (right) both leaning on canes and seemingly about to collide. This satirical print, characteristic of Daumier's style, likely critiques the anti-Semitic views often expressed in the "Constitutionnel" newspaper. Daumier, a renowned social commentator, used his art to expose the injustices and hypocrisies of his time, making this work a powerful example of his political and social satire.
