This set of six lithographs was published in Petit Journal pour Rire, a humorous French periodical featuring comical drawings and satirical commentary. The set is part of a series titled "Fantaisies Parisiennes, " illustrated by J. Grévin. The works provide a witty commentary on Parisian society, with detailed depictions of fashionable men and women in humorous and often exaggerated situations. The playful nature of the illustrations offers a lighthearted reflection of 19th-century French culture, particularly the social dynamics of the time.The prints were published by the famous publisher Veuve Philipon et Cie, known for their comic and satirical publications. These works are a testament to the lively spirit of Parisian humor and the vibrancy of 19th-century French lithography.Artist or Maker:Philippe PhiliponMedium:LithographDate:1879Dimensions:20 cm x 30 cm (each)Condition Report:This work is in good condition overall.
