Mes marionnettes : album de 60 caricatures
Mes marionnettes is an album of sixty caricatures by the French cartoonist Cham (Amédée de Noé, 1819-1879), published in Paris by Arnauld de Vresse in 1868 for a general audience of readers of French satirical humour. The pictures are pen-and-ink comic scenes of Parisian street and domestic life, with dry captions in French under each drawing. A designer might take from them the economy of hatched shading, expressive caricatured faces and gestures, and compositions built from a few architectural lines.
