Eh! Ben ... puisque vous voulez qu' les bouchers ... c. 19th century

"Eh! Ben ... puisque vous voulez qu' les bouchers ...," is a satirical lithograph by Honoré Daumier created in the 19th century. Daumier, known for his sharp social commentary, uses caricature to depict a butcher and a customer in a humorous exchange, perhaps commenting on the realities of Parisian life during this period. The scene, drawn in stark black and white, captures the artist's signature style, highlighting the human condition with both wit and empathy. Daumier's work often addressed social issues and this print, though seemingly lighthearted, likely offers a glimpse into the complexities of the time.
