Droleries contemporaines : album de 60 caricatures
Droleries contemporaines is an 1869 Paris album of sixty caricatures by the French cartoonist Cham (Amédée de Noé), published by Arnauld de Vresse for a general urban audience of wit-seekers. Its pictures are pen-and-ink comic scenes of Parisian street life, courtrooms, and shopfronts, with hatched shadows, exaggerated faces, and short French captions that a designer could borrow for satirical stagecraft, expressive caricature, and hatched wash shading.
