Encore un album

Encore un album is an 1860 Paris collection of comic caricatures by the French artist Cham (Amédée de Noé, 1819-1879), published by Arnauld de Vresse for a general readership of humour buyers. Its pictures are small wordless-style line drawings with captioned French jokes below, built on hatched shading and simple staging of figures in streets, ships and parks, which shows a designer how to make quick, economical comic narrative with minimal line.
