Honore Daumier and the New Book of Knowledge Prize
This piece highlights Honore Daumier, born 1808 in Marseilles, noted for street sketches and lithographs that mocked injustice. It recalls his Paris cartoonist career, jail sentence for a royal dig, later fame, and eventual health decline before his 1879 death, with a lighter humorous insert and a pet dog anecdote.
