La rèforme électorale en angleterre is a 1866 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
Daumier’s lithograph shows angry men pushing hard against a closed door. Their faces twist with effort and frustration. Dark shadows on the other side make it look like someone blocks them on purpose. Daumier spent years drawing political cartoons. This image mocks France’s slow voting reforms. The door isn’t just wood—it stands for blocked change. Check out more of Daumier, Honoré’s work next.
