"Those Were the Good Old Days" is a notable caricature from the "Moeurs Parisiennes" series, created by the French artist Edme Jean Pigal around 1825. The engraving, executed by Langlumé, offers a satirical glimpse into the social customs and daily life of Parisian society during the early 19th century. Pigal, known for his keen observation and wit, often depicted the bourgeoisie and the working classes with a humorous and sometimes critical eye, reflecting the political and social undercurrents of post-revolutionary France.

The "Moeurs Parisiennes" series, to which this caricature belongs, is a collection of works that serve as a visual commentary on the manners and mores of Parisians. In "Those Were the Good Old Days," Pigal employs his characteristic exaggeration and irony to evoke nostalgia for the past, while perhaps also commenting on the contemporary issues of his time. The intricate details and expressive characters in the scene invite viewers to consider the complexities of societal change and the human tendency to romanticize bygone eras.

As a significant piece of French satirical art, "Those Were the Good Old Days" not only showcases Pigal's artistic skill but also provides historians and art enthusiasts with valuable insights into the cultural landscape of 1820s Paris. The work remains an important artifact for understanding the evolution of caricature as a form of social and political critique during a period marked by restoration and change in France.
