About the Item

"De Quoi! De Quoi! Votre Dot?" is an original lithograph 3/3 D. 390 (Charivari) by Honore Daumier. It depicts an odd-looking man and a beautifully-dressed woman in conversation. There is text below the image captioning the scene. Original Text: "De quoi ! De quoi ! Votre dot ?…. Est-ce qu'on l'a mangée, votre dot ?…… On l'a perdue dans les opérations industrielles. Et puis d'ailleurs, est-ce que ça dure toujours une dot……… Je compte bien en user plusieurs…….." Translation: "Well? Well? What about your dowry?.?... Do you think someone's eaten it?... It's been lost in industrial speculation. But apart from that, what do you imagine... that a dowry lasts forever?... I have every intention of getting through several more..."
