Hippolyte Guillaume Sulpice Chevalier
called Paul Gavarni, 1804-1866
To Arms Citizens!
Lithograph, 1844
S. A. Schoff Collection
Leonard Hastings Schoff bequest, 1979
Gavarni and his contemporary Honore Daumier (1808-1879) produced thousands of
prints satirizing French life and politics. Their lively caricatures and portraits remain
very popular with collectors. This print, from a series called the Physiognomy of
Singers, was published in the Musical Review & Gazette.
