About this work

This print shows a crowd of people in a busy city street, all heading left. A woman in black holds a baby. A man in a top hat carries a cane. Daumier made this during a time of political upheaval in France. He used a rough printing style to mimic newsprint. The messy lines add energy and urgency. Look up Daumier, Honoré to see more of his sharp political art.
