"Caricatures du jour" is a series of lithographic prints created by the renowned French artist Honoré Daumier (1808–1879). This series, produced during the 19th century, is a significant part of Daumier's oeuvre, showcasing his sharp wit and keen observation of contemporary society. Daumier, who began his artistic career as a lithographer, is best known for his satirical caricatures that often targeted the political and social issues of his time, particularly in France under the July Monarchy (1830–1848).

The "Caricatures du jour" series exemplifies Daumier's mastery of lithography, a printing process that allowed for the mass production of his work, thereby reaching a wide audience. His caricatures were published in various periodicals, including "La Caricature" and "Le Charivari," which were popular French magazines known for their political and social satire. Daumier's work in "Caricatures du jour" often featured politicians, public figures, and the bourgeoisie, whom he depicted with exaggerated features and in absurd situations to critique their actions and influence.

Daumier's art was not without risk; his incisive commentary led to legal troubles, including a six-month prison sentence in 1832 for a caricature of King Louis-Philippe. Despite such challenges, he remained committed to his art, producing thousands of lithographs throughout his career. The "Caricatures du jour" series is a testament to Daumier's role as a social commentator and his enduring legacy as one of the most important caricaturists of the 19th century.

The significance of the "Caricatures du jour" series extends beyond its historical context, as it continues to be studied and appreciated for its artistic quality and its influence on the development of satirical illustration. Daumier's work paved the way for future generations of cartoonists and remains relevant today as a powerful example of art's ability to challenge and reflect upon societal norms and political power structures.
