Frapier (unmarked). This proof reproduced in R. Passeron, Daumier, témoin de son temps, Fribourg, 1979, ill. 106, p. 177. "One of the masterpieces that the attacks on press freedom determined in Daumier. Adolphe Thiers, a former journalist who had nevertheless defended the press against the orders of Charles X - they had provoked the Revolution of 1830 - wanted it to be used only in the service of the "party of order" since he had become a minister. Daumier could not accept this attitude. "R. Passeron, Daumier, témoin de son temps, Fribourg, 1979, p. 177. Advertisement for sale: Proof of the second state printed with a cache on the letter.
