Early humorous and satirical lithographs by the celebrated French caricaturist Henry Monnier (1799–1877), with the lithographs executed by François-Séraphin Delpech (1778–1825), one of the leading French lithographic printers and engravers of the Restoration period. These lithographs depict Parisian society during the Restoration, capturing the manners, fashions, professions, and eccentricities of the emerging French middle class.
