"Actualités" is a series of lithographic prints created by the French artist Honoré Daumier (1808–1879), a prominent caricaturist and painter known for his keen observation of social and political life in 19th-century France. The series, produced for the newspaper "Le Charivari," spans from the 1830s to the 1870s, reflecting Daumier's prolific career as a lithographer and his engagement with the evolving political and social landscape of his time.

Daumier's "Actualités" comprises over 4,000 lithographs, making it one of his most extensive and significant bodies of work. The series serves as a satirical commentary on the events, figures, and follies of the day, ranging from the petty squabbles of Parisian society to the grand dramas of national politics. Daumier's sharp wit and keen eye for detail rendered "Actualités" a critical chronicle of contemporary life, capturing the nuances of human behavior and the absurdities of social convention with both humor and pathos.

Employing a distinctive style that combines caricature with a sense of realism, Daumier was able to communicate complex ideas and critiques in a visually accessible and engaging manner. His work in "Actualités" not only entertained but also provoked thought among its viewers, challenging them to reflect on the issues and injustices of their time. Daumier's lithographs were celebrated for their artistic quality and their bold, often controversial, political statements, which at times led to legal repercussions for the artist.

"Actualités" remains a valuable historical and artistic resource, offering insight into the social and political climate of 19th-century France. Through his masterful lithographs, Daumier captured the spirit of his age, leaving a legacy that continues to be studied and admired for its artistic innovation and its incisive commentary on human society.
