1852
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
It seems to me that I notice a little dog there that is not muzzled!... is a 1852 by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This cartoon shows a small dog sitting beside a man at a café table. The man reads a newspaper labeled "News of the Day." It’s fun to see the dog isn’t muzzled, which was unusual at the time. Daumier used this detail to poke fun at rules he found silly. Look for other prints in the series at the Cleveland Museum of Art.
This print was published in Le Charivari (July 23, 1852) as plate 7 from the series News of the Day .

Honoré-Victorin Daumier was a French painter, sculptor, and printmaker, whose many works offer commentary on the social and political life in France, from the Revolution of 1830 to the fall of the Second French Empire in 1870.
