PROVENANCE

---

fun fact: 


digital description: 


wall description: 
Caricature was popular by 1830 and copious lithographs, often published in newspapers or journals, lampooned politics and society. Huard, a printmaker and illustrator, made drawings that were reproduced in humor magazines. At the Café was probably meant for a satircal publication because the scene of two bourgeois businessmen bears this inscription: In France there are no poor people. There certainly are people with limited means but there are no poor people.
