"Les Bons Bourgeois, Pl. 28. (< - Tiens, Ma Femme, V'la Mon Portrait Au Daguerreotype... >) 1846" is a notable lithograph by the renowned French artist Honoré Daumier. Daumier, celebrated for his keen social commentary and masterful caricatures, created this piece as part of his series "Les Bons Bourgeois," which humorously depicted the lives and manners of the French bourgeoisie during the mid-19th century. The title of the lithograph translates to "Here, My Wife, Here is My Portrait in Daguerreotype," reflecting the novelty and fascination with early photographic technology at the time.

In this particular work, Daumier captures a moment of domestic pride and vanity, as a bourgeois man presents his daguerreotype portrait to his wife. The daguerreotype, an early form of photography invented by Louis Daguerre in 1839, was a significant technological advancement and quickly became a popular means of capturing personal likenesses. Daumier's choice to incorporate this element into his lithograph not only highlights the contemporary cultural milieu but also subtly critiques the bourgeois preoccupation with self-image and social status.

The composition of the lithograph is typical of Daumier's style, characterized by exaggerated features and expressive gestures that convey the personalities and emotions of his subjects. The husband's proud, almost smug expression contrasts with the wife's reaction, which can be interpreted in various ways, from admiration to bemusement. This interplay adds a layer of humor and insight into the dynamics of bourgeois domestic life.

Daumier's work is renowned for its ability to blend humor with incisive social critique, and "Les Bons Bourgeois, Pl. 28" is no exception. Through his deft use of caricature and keen observation, Daumier provides a window into the values and behaviors of the 19th-century French middle class, making this lithograph a valuable piece for understanding the social history of the period.
