Paris au crayon : album de 60 caricatures
Paris au crayon is an 1869 album of sixty caricatures drawn by Cham (Amédée de Noé, 1819-1879) and published in Paris by Arnauld de Vresse, aimed at a general urban audience amused by French society satire. The four pictures show Parisian domestic and social scenes in loose, shaded pen-and-ink line, with exaggerated figures, flounced skirts and tall top hats, offering a designer quick examples of mid-century caricature staging, gesture and period costume.
