"Les Bons Bourgeois" is a series of lithographs created by the renowned French printmaker and caricaturist Honoré Daumier (1808–1879). This body of work, produced during the 1840s, satirizes the manners, pretensions, and daily life of the French bourgeoisie, a social class that had gained prominence during the July Monarchy (1830–1848) under King Louis-Philippe. Daumier, who is best known for his sharp social commentary and keen observation of human behavior, used his artistic talents to critique the hypocrisy and moral shortcomings he perceived in the middle-class society of his time.

The "Les Bons Bourgeois" series is considered one of Daumier's most significant contributions to the art of caricature. It consists of numerous individual prints, each capturing a moment or character that exemplifies the idiosyncrasies and follies of bourgeois life. The lithographs were originally published in the French magazine "Le Charivari," a periodical known for its political and social satire. Daumier's work for the magazine often pushed the boundaries of what was considered acceptable, and he faced legal challenges and imprisonment for his daring portrayals of political figures and social commentary.

In "Les Bons Bourgeois," Daumier employs a range of artistic techniques to convey his message, including exaggeration, irony, and a keen eye for detail. His characters are often depicted in domestic settings or social situations, engaged in activities that reveal their vanity, self-importance, or ignorance. The series not only provides a humorous and critical view of 19th-century French society but also offers insight into the universal human traits that transcend time and culture.

Daumier's work has been celebrated for its historical importance and artistic value. "Les Bons Bourgeois" remains a testament to his legacy as a master of caricature and a pivotal figure in the development of modern satirical art. The series is frequently studied in the context of art history and social sciences, providing a window into the social dynamics and political climate of 19th-century France. Today, the lithographs from "Les Bons Bourgeois" can be found in the collections of major museums and art institutions around the world, where they continue to be appreciated for their wit, artistry, and enduring relevance.
