"Charles Louis Philippe Henri Dieudonné Mayeux, born in Paris 7 Fructidor An 2, Decorated with the Lys and the Croix de Juillet, Member of the Caveau Moderne and Several Other Academies" is a satirical lithograph created by French artist Charles Joseph Traviès de Villiers. The artwork, which dates back to the 19th century, portrays a fictional character named Mayeux, a hunchbacked dandy, who became an iconic figure in French popular culture during the July Monarchy (1830–1848).

Mayeux, the character, was first introduced by Traviès in the early 1830s and quickly gained popularity for his distinctive appearance and the social commentary his image provided. The character was often depicted in a variety of situations, lampooning the manners and mores of the time, and became a symbol of the petite bourgeoisie and the absurdities of social climbing. The full title of the lithograph, which includes references to decorations such as the Lys (Lily) and the Croix de Juillet (July Cross), as well as membership in the Caveau Moderne and other academies, is indicative of the satirical nature of the work, poking fun at the pretensions to nobility and intellectual achievement.

Traviès de Villiers, a contemporary of Honoré Daumier, was known for his caricatures and social satire. His work often appeared in periodicals such as "La Caricature" and "Le Charivari," where he contributed alongside other notable artists of the time. The Mayeux series is considered one of his most significant contributions to the art of caricature, offering insight into the political and social climate of France during the 1830s.

The lithograph is an important example of French satirical art and provides valuable historical context for the study of class and culture in the early 19th century. It remains a testament to the enduring power of visual satire in political and social discourse.
