"Series Actualités: The Comet, The Evening Before the 13th of June" is a lithograph by the French artist Honoré Daumier, a prolific printmaker, caricaturist, painter, and sculptor. This work is part of the "Actualités" series, a collection of lithographic prints published in the French newspaper "Le Charivari." Daumier's "Actualités" series served as a satirical commentary on contemporary events, social behaviors, and political affairs in 19th-century France.

Created in 1833, "The Comet, The Evening Before the 13th of June" reflects the public's reaction to the anticipated return of Halley's Comet, which was expected to be visible from Earth that year. The lithograph captures the mixture of fear, superstition, and scientific curiosity that surrounded the event. Daumier was known for his keen observation of society and his ability to translate those observations into biting satire that resonated with the public while often critiquing the powers of the day.

In this particular print, Daumier may be poking fun at the sensationalism and panic that often accompanied astronomical events during the period, highlighting the contrast between enlightened scientific understanding and the persistent hold of irrational fears. The work exemplifies Daumier's skill in using caricature to address contemporary issues, and his lithographs are considered important historical documents as well as significant works of art.

Daumier's contributions to the arts, particularly in printmaking and caricature, have been recognized as influential in the development of modern satirical illustration. His works are held in high esteem and can be found in museum collections around the world, serving as a testament to his enduring legacy in the realms of art and social commentary.
