L'or est une chimere - pour ceux qui n'ont pas le sou

Title: Emotions Parisiennes. L'or est une chimère - pour ceux qui n'ont pas le sou / hD.
Creator(s): Daumier, Honoré, 1808-1879, artist
Date Created/Published: [Paris] : Au Bureau du Charivari, R. du Groissant 16, [ca. 1840] (Imp. d'Aubert & Cie.)
Summary: Print shows a man in a tall black hat with his hands in his pockets, looking sardonically at a window, covered by a grill, behind which sit bowls of coins. Daumier was a French caricaturist and cartoonist, who turned from political cartooning (after a stiff censorship law was passed) to satirizing the social and economic mores of middle class society. This print was one of 42 featuring emotional moments in the lives of his fellow Parisians. The title can be roughly translated as: Gold is a myth, for those who don't have a penny.
