Promenades à l'exposition
Promenades à l'exposition is a French caricature album published in Paris in 1850 at the Charivari newspaper office, drawn by the satirist Cham (Amédée de Noé, 1819-1879) for a Parisian readership. Its pages hold small framed scenes of top-hatted gentlemen in exchanges that mock the manners of the exhibition-going public. The lively hatching, quick outlines and dry captions show how a designer could build narrative cartoon panels with clear figure gesture and minimal shading.
