About the Item
Daumier was a master of French satire and caricatures. In this lithograph entitled "TYPES PARISIENS NO. 1, Eh bien malin! comment le trouvez vous celui-là! - Oui, oui, mais enfin - Oui...... oui ..... oui!" (Oh well you little rogue! how do you like this one! -Yes, yes, but at last - Yes...... yes ..... yes!), published in Le Charivari, August 27, 1841, he depicts two men tasting and critiquing wine while dining. One man seems frustrated that the other man has not liked the wines he has tasted so far (three bottles sit on their small bistro table), but he is happy that he has finally found one that meets with his companion's approval.
Daumier's initials (hD) can be found in the lower right corner.
The print is presented in a bleached wood frame and a white mat. The frame measures 16.88 " high, 19" wide and 1.38" deep. It is in excellent condition.
Provenance: Sterling Vineyard Winery Art Collection, Calistoga, CA. This print was displayed in the Sterling Vineyard tasting room.
Artist: Born in Marseille, Honoré Daumier moved to Paris at the age of eight. During his forty-year career, he produced over 4,000 lithographic caricatures and hundreds of small oil paintings, a body of work which endures today as one of the greatest bodies of satirical art ever produced. In 1832, he was convicted and jailed for insulting the King in a print called Gargantua, which depicted King Louis Phillippe on a giant chamber pot excreting political favors. From then on Daumier generally avoided political topics and used the middle class city-dwellers of Paris as his subjects. His prints appeared regularly in several Parisian satirical journals, the most famous being Le Charivari.
Daumier targeted the expanding class of French bourgeoisie and their pretensions to gentility, intellectualism and wealth. He used compassion and gentle humor to reveal ironies and satire. The closest he ever came to political satire after his imprisonment was a series of thirty-nine prints depicting legal proceedings, lawyers and judges, entitled Men of Justice (1845-48). These works, among his best known, are decidedly stronger in the criticism of their subjects. His other subjects include comedic theatre, charlatans of every variety, artists and collectors, Parisian women and the newly emerging railway. Daumier enjoyed great popularity during his life, but never managed to achieve financial success.

- Richard Reynolds, Society of Friends: 19th C. Engraved Portrait by Wm. SharpBy William SharpLocated in Alamo, CAThis is an early 19th century engraved portrait of the industrialist and philanthropist Richard Reynolds by William Sharp after William Hobday. It was published in London by Rudolph Ackerman in 1817. The print is entitled "Richard Reynolds of the Society of Friends, Late of Bristol". This three-quarter length portrait of Reynolds depicts him seated, directed to right, looking towards the viewer. He is holding an open book, wearing a plain suit. A curtain in the background is pulled to the left, revealing bookshelves. Some of the books are labelled 'Addison & Watts' 'Kempis & Fenelon' 'Milton & Cowley' etc. The inscription above the portrait reads: "When the eye saw him it blessed him". The lettering below the image reads: "Richard Reynolds of the Society of Friends, Late of Bristol; Whose Life and Fortune were devoted to the Glory of God by relieving the humble in Distress.', This plate is dedicated by Permission to his Royal Highness, the Prince Regent by his most devoted very humble servant William Hobday." This engraving is printed on thick paper. The sheet measures 16" high and 12" wide. It is adhered to an archival backing in the upper left corner. There is mild discoloration and toning in the margins, but it does not involve the image.

He was born into a wealthy family in Bristol, England, and inherited a successful copper smelting, iron manufacturing business from his father. Despite his privileged upbringing, Reynolds was known for his deep concern for the poor and his commitment to social justice. He used his wealth and influence to support a range of philanthropic causes, including the abolition of slavery, the improvement of working conditions for miners and factory workers, and the provision of education for the poor. Reynolds was also a prominent supporter of the Quaker...Category
