"Le Moulin du Télégraphe" is a lithograph created by the French printmaker, caricaturist, painter, and sculptor Honoré Daumier (1808–1879). Daumier is renowned for his social and political commentary, which he delivered through his prolific output of lithographs published in French newspapers such as "La Caricature" and "Le Charivari." While Daumier is best known for his satirical works targeting the bourgeoisie, the legal profession, and the political elite of his time, "Le Moulin du Télégraphe" is part of his body of work that captures scenes of everyday life in 19th-century France.

The title of the work, "Le Moulin du Télégraphe," translates to "The Telegraph Mill," and it is believed to depict a windmill that was located on a hill in the neighborhood of Ménilmontant in Paris. This area was known for its windmills, which, by Daumier's time, had largely fallen into disuse or had been repurposed. The "Télégraphe" in the title likely refers to the semaphore telegraph system, which was used for transmitting information over long distances before the advent of the electric telegraph. These semaphore stations were often placed on high ground, such as hills where windmills stood, to maximize visibility.

The lithograph is characteristic of Daumier's style, with its use of strong lines, dramatic shading, and keen observation of the human condition. Although the specific date of creation for "Le Moulin du Télégraphe" is not well-documented, Daumier's active period as a lithographer spanned from the 1830s to the 1870s. His works are held in high regard for their artistic quality and historical significance, providing insight into the societal changes and challenges of the Industrial Revolution in France.

"Le Moulin du Télégraphe" is part of Daumier's oeuvre that reflects his interest in the urban transformation of Paris and the lives of its inhabitants. As with many of his lithographs, this work may carry a deeper social or political message, possibly commenting on the technological advancements of the era and their impact on traditional ways of life.

Today, Honoré Daumier's works, including "Le Moulin du Télégraphe," are studied for their artistic merit and as a visual chronicle of 19th-century French society. They can be found in museum collections around the world, contributing to the legacy of Daumier as one of the most important social commentators of his time through the medium of lithography.
