Day 06 Week 02

 

Honoré Daumier, Rue Transnonain, 15 April 1834, lithography

Art can capture horrible truths and distribute them to others so that we reconsider our beliefs. This image was printed and distributed to the entire city of Paris (and by extension France and the world) through the process of lithography. Most newspapers were printed using lithography for over 150 years.
