Les échappés de Charenton : album de 60 caricatures
Les échappés de Charenton is an 1868 Paris album of sixty caricatures by the French cartoonist Cham (Amédée de Noé, 1819-1879), published by Arnauld de Vresse for a general urban audience. The pictures are pen-and-ink wood engravings with short French captions, showing bourgeois manners in stables, cafés and streets; a designer might borrow their crowded, gesture-led staging and deadpan comic timing for editorial cartoons or period-style spot illustrations.
