About the series
Published weekly by Aubert from 1838 to 1839, La Caricature was a short-lived but potent French comic periodical, with Charles Philipon as its most frequent writer and Honoré Daumier as its lead artist. A successor to Philipon’s earlier, suppressed satirical journals, it continued the fight for political and social commentary through sharp lithographic caricature, with Daumier’s incisive drawings targeting King Louis-Philippe and the bourgeoisie. Its 61 issues stand as a landmark in the history of comics and graphic satire, demonstrating the medium’s power to challenge authority under the July Monarchy.
