Revue comique de l'Exposition de l'industrie

A satirical one-shot from the Parisian humor weekly Le Charivari, Revue comique de l'Exposition de l'industrie (1849) offers a single-issue, illustrated send-up of the industrial exhibition of its day. Produced by the Bureau du Charivari, this pamphlet stands as a spirited artifact of 19th-century French caricature, poking fun at the era's commercial and technological spectacles. Its value lies in capturing a specific moment of cultural critique through the lens of a major comic periodical.
