Voters, into my arms!...

Voters, into my arms!...

Honoré Daumier

1869

From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art

About this work

This print shows a crowd gathered around a speaker who points to the left. People look eager, some waving hats. The room is dark except for a single light on the speaker’s face. It’s a political moment from 1869 France. Daumier made prints like this for *Le Charivari*, a daily paper. The crowded scene feels urgent, like a real event. Check out another Daumier print called *The Print Collector* if this one grabs you.
