Daumier portrayed Salon exhibitions over several decades for comic journals such as La Caricature and Le Charivari , which published this lithograph. This print suggests the different reasons for which visitors came to Paris and the Salon. Shown here are flaneurs who install themselves by the bar, sarcastically labeled by Daumier as “the true lovers” of art, implying that a real Salon enthusiast would spend time with the art instead of just being present to be observed.
