Le Salon de 1839

Le Salon de 1839 is a Paris caricature book from 1839, published by Beauger, that satirises the annual Salon art exhibition for a French readership. Its pictures are quick pen-and-ink caricatures of artists, critics and visitors, with exaggerated noses, top hats and gestures, and a designer might take their loose hatching and comic exaggeration of character as a model for expressive figure drawing.
