"Honore Daumier, caricaturist, painter and sculptor, [and printmaker] was the greatest satirist of his day, and perhaps of all time. He was fortunate or unlucky to pursue his career during an era of social and political upheaval. Indeed, the first major retrospective of his art in the United States . . . suggests that 19th-century France was, for him, the best of time and the worst of times." -- Quoted from an article by Joanna Shaw-Eagle in BNET Today. (Daumier spent six months in the Bastille because of one of his caricatures of the king.) This is James's tribute to the man and the art form, which first appeared in Century Magazine in 1890, was published in book form in 1937 and reprinted here in a slightly different edition..
