Les Représentans en vacances

A single-issue French comic published by Bureau du Charivari in 1849, Les Représentans en vacances is a satirical political cartoon series lampooning the French National Assembly during the Second Republic. Associated with the sharp, lithographic wit of the Charivari tradition, this standalone issue captures a moment of legislative absurdity with its caricatures of deputies on holiday. It stands as a pointed artifact of 19th-century political humor, reflecting the era's press freedoms and the visual satire that defined the period.
