Revue fantaisiste : album de soixante caricatures
Revue fantaisiste is an 1866 Paris album of sixty caricatures by the French cartoonist Cham (Amédée de Noé, 1819-1879), published by Arnauld de Vresse for a general audience of urban readers. The pictures are fine-line pen and ink social satires of bourgeois manners, with crowded interiors, stiff top-hatted men and fashionably dressed women, and they suggest compact gag-panel layouts and caricatured gesture a designer could adapt for editorial spot illustration.
