"Histoire Ancienne" is a series of lithographic works by the French artist Honoré Daumier (1808–1879), created and published over several years in the 19th century. Daumier, renowned for his critical and satirical depictions of society, politics, and everyday life in France, utilized the "Histoire Ancienne" series to parody classical antiquity and its heroes, juxtaposing them with contemporary societal norms and issues. This body of work is part of Daumier's extensive oeuvre as a caricaturist and painter, contributing significantly to the development of lithography as a serious art form during his time.

The series showcases Daumier's exceptional skill in lithography, a printing process that allowed for the mass production of his satirical and often politically charged content, making it accessible to a broader audience. "Histoire Ancienne" reflects Daumier's keen observation and critique of human behavior, societal norms, and the political landscape of 19th-century France, all under the guise of humor and satire. By drawing parallels between ancient history and contemporary events, Daumier's work in this series not only entertained but also provoked thought and discussion among his audience.

Daumier's "Histoire Ancienne" is celebrated for its artistic quality, wit, and insightful commentary on the human condition. It remains a significant contribution to the field of lithography and satirical art, offering a window into the social and political climate of 19th-century France through the lens of classical antiquity. The series is an important part of Daumier's legacy as a master caricaturist and social commentator, whose work continues to be studied and admired for its depth, humor, and artistic innovation.
