"From La Caricature" refers to a collection of works by the renowned French printmaker, caricaturist, painter, and sculptor Honoré Daumier (1808–1879). Daumier is best known for his satirical lithographs that critiqued the social and political landscape of 19th-century France. "La Caricature" was a French weekly magazine founded in 1830 by Charles Philipon, which became a platform for Daumier and other artists to express their political commentary through the art of caricature.

Daumier's contributions to "La Caricature" are significant in the history of political and social satire. His lithographs in the magazine often targeted the government of King Louis-Philippe, earning Daumier a reputation as a fearless critic of corruption and social injustice. One of his most famous series for "La Caricature" was "Les Gens de Justice," which sharply mocked the French legal system and its practitioners.

In 1832, Daumier was imprisoned for six months because of his lithograph "Gargantua," which appeared in "La Caricature" and depicted Louis-Philippe as a greedy giant swallowing the wealth of the nation. Despite the risks, Daumier continued to produce work for the publication until it ceased in 1835, due to government censorship and financial difficulties.

Daumier's work from "La Caricature" is characterized by its keen observation, wit, and the innovative use of lithography, which was a relatively new printmaking technique at the time. His lithographs are not only artistically significant but also serve as a historical record of the political climate and societal issues of his era. Today, Daumier's works from "La Caricature" are preserved in various art institutions around the world and continue to be studied for their artistic merit and historical importance.
