After the July Revolution of 1830, Charles Philipon founded two new satirical newspapers: “La Caricature” and “Le Charivari”. Honoré Daumier, Cham or Gavarni worked for them. Both titles soon became famous for their political caricatures. After the tightening of censorship and the closure of “La Caricature” in 1835, the artists turned to more social themes. In particular, they ridiculed the French bourgeoisie for its stupidity, pettiness and greed. In 1848, Daumier or Gustave Doré – Philipon’s discovery – supported the Second Republic. However, they rejected the socialist and feminist ideas of the time. They also strongly condemned the Parisian workers’ uprising of June 1848. Daumier and Philipon saw the threat to the Republic posed by Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, but were ultimately unable to prevent the coup of 1851.
