From the Art Institute of Chicago record
A prolific artist best known for his political caricatures and satirical illustrations of daily life, Daumier produced over 4,000 lithographs, principally for periodicals. This image, taken directly from the magazine Le Charivari , comments on the odd jobs that sprouted from the rapid population growth in Paris, such as pasting posters and public announcements on buildings.
