Cascadeurs et cascadeuses : album de 60 caricatures

Cham, 1819-1879 · 1860 · Paris : Arnauld de Vresse · 23 pictures

An 1860 Paris album of sixty caricatures by Cham (Amédée de Noé, 1819-1879), published by Arnauld de Vresse, aimed at a Parisian readership of urban wit and social satire. The pictures are wry single-panel and paired-panel cartoons of stiff gentlemen, flirtatious ladies and bourgeois manners, drawn in dense hatched line that a designer could borrow for quick, witty figure studies with strong silhouettes and expressive posture.
