Honoré Daumier (1808-1879), Théophile-Alexandre Steinlen (1859-1923) and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864-1901) are marvelous chroniclers of 19th-century Parisian society. These three artists shared a shared interest in their contemporaries, a shared tenderness and a shared desire for truth and humanism. Each succeeded, through their compositions, in transforming anonymous people encountered in the street, on public transport, in cafés, at the Opera, at the theatre or even in the hushed world of brothels, into "modern icons". Drawings, paintings, lithographs, period newspapers, photographs and postcards illustrate these colorful and incisive portraits of Parisian life.
