Amedee Charles Henri de Noe, better known by his pseudonym Cham (1818–1879), was a pioneering French caricaturist and lithographer renowned for his satirical illustrations that humorously captured the social and political life of his time. Cham's caricatures are significant for their sharp wit, keen observation, and the ability to distill complex ideas into simple, yet powerful images that resonated with the public. His work spans a wide array of subjects, including the foibles of the bourgeoisie, the excesses of the ruling class, and the everyday life of ordinary citizens.

Born into an aristocratic family, Cham was well-placed to critique the society he was a part of, and his illustrations often reflected the changing dynamics of French society during the 19th century, a period marked by revolutions, the rise of the bourgeoisie, and the eventual establishment of the French Republic. His prolific output was published in various periodicals of the time, such as "Le Charivari," where he worked alongside other notable caricaturists like Honoré Daumier.

Cham's caricatures are characterized by their lively line work, exaggerated features, and the ability to convey a narrative or critique without the need for extensive dialogue or captions. His legacy includes thousands of individual works that provide a valuable, humorous, and often biting commentary on the events and characters of his era. Cham's influence extended beyond his lifetime, contributing to the development of the caricature as a form of social and political commentary in the arts.

Today, Cham's caricatures are studied not only for their artistic merit but also for their historical significance, offering insights into the cultural and political landscape of 19th-century France. His work remains an important part of the canon of French caricature and continues to be appreciated for its humor, artistry, and its reflection of the human condition.
