Allons-y gaiement : album de 60 caricatures
Allons-y gaiement is an 1867 Paris album of sixty caricatures by Cham (Amédée de Noé, 1819-1879), published by Arnauld de Vresse for a general audience of urban readers. Its pictures are pen-and-ink humorous scenes of Parisian street life and bourgeois manners, with stiff, exaggerated figures in top hats, crinolines and frock coats, and captions set beneath each image. A designer might borrow their loose hatched linework, caricatured gesture and compact comic staging for editorial illustration.
