"Print Collectors I" by Honoré Daumier is a lithograph created by the French artist, known for his significant contributions to the development of printmaking in the 19th century. Daumier, who lived from 1808 to 1879, was a prolific caricaturist, painter, and sculptor, whose work often commented on the social and political landscape of France during his lifetime. "Print Collectors I" is part of a series that explores the burgeoning interest in art collecting during Daumier's era, particularly the middle-class fascination with prints and reproductions of artworks.

The lithograph features a scene that is both humorous and critical, a hallmark of Daumier's style. It depicts collectors who are likely amateurs, deeply engrossed in examining prints. Their postures and expressions suggest a mix of pretension and genuine interest, a reflection of Daumier's keen observation of human behavior and social pretenses. The work serves as a social commentary on the democratization of art through the medium of prints, which made artwork more accessible to the general public, while also poking fun at the bourgeoning class of art aficionados.

"Print Collectors I" is emblematic of Daumier's mastery of lithography, a technique that allowed for the mass production of images and played a crucial role in the dissemination of his satirical and political messages. The lithograph is characterized by its fine detail, expressive line work, and the effective use of shading to create depth and texture, demonstrating Daumier's skill in capturing character and mood.

As with many of Daumier's prints, "Print Collectors I" would have been circulated widely in periodicals or sold as individual sheets, contributing to the artist's reputation as a commentator on the mores of his time. Today, the work is studied not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical significance as a document of 19th-century French society and the evolving world of art collection.
