La Saison des eaux

A single-issue comic from the Bureau du Charivari, La Saison des eaux (1855) stands as an early, standalone work in the history of French-language sequential art. Its precise place within the broader Charivari tradition—a satirical, often politically charged publication—remains a point of interest for scholars of 19th-century comics. While its creator is not widely known today, the issue itself offers a glimpse into the era's visual storytelling and social commentary.
