"Les Bons Bourgeois" is a series of lithographs created by the renowned French printmaker and caricaturist Honoré Daumier (1808–1879). This work is part of Daumier's extensive oeuvre, which often satirized the social and political life of 19th-century France. The series, whose title translates to "The Good Bourgeois," provides a critical and humorous look at the middle-class society of his time, highlighting the pretensions, follies, and vices of its members.

Daumier, who began his artistic career as a lithographer, is best known for his sharp social commentary and keen observation of human character. "Les Bons Bourgeois" series exemplifies his talent for capturing the essence of his subjects with wit and a keen eye for detail. Through a variety of scenes, Daumier portrays the everyday life of the bourgeoisie, from their domestic habits to their public appearances, often emphasizing the contrast between their self-perception and the reality of their actions.

The lithographs in "Les Bons Bourgeois" were originally published in the French magazine "Le Charivari," a periodical known for its political and social satire. Daumier's work for the magazine was part of a larger movement of caricature that flourished in France during the July Monarchy (1830–1848) and the subsequent Second French Empire (1852–1870). His art served as a form of social critique and was influential in shaping public opinion.

The series is notable for its artistic quality and historical significance. Daumier's lithographs are characterized by their expressive line work and skillful use of shading, which bring his subjects to life with a sense of immediacy and dynamism. As a historical document, "Les Bons Bourgeois" provides insight into the values, aspirations, and hypocrisies of the middle class during a period of rapid social change in France.

Today, "Les Bons Bourgeois" is considered an important part of Daumier's legacy and a valuable contribution to the history of printmaking. The series is studied for its artistic merit as well as its sociopolitical content, and original prints from "Les Bons Bourgeois" are held in the collections of major museums and galleries around the world. Daumier's work remains relevant for its enduring critique of social pretense and its universal portrayal of human nature.
