Cham, 1819-1879 · 1868 · Paris : Arnauld de Vresse · 22 pictures

Pantins du jour is an 1868 Paris album of sixty caricatures by Cham (Amédée de Noé, 1819-1879), published by Arnauld de Vresse for a French readership interested in social satire. Its pictures are pen-and-ink comic scenes of everyday Parisian manners, with crowded street figures, expressive gestures and captioned punchlines a designer could borrow for editorial cartoon layouts or vintage humour graphics.
