Leave me alone, Bah !... Bah !... do we not die of hunger.. Charivari
Description:
Two men are having a meal together but one wishes to be left alone. This series demonstrates in a rather critical way a new trend in the bourgeoisie during the post industrial-revolution period of Louis-Philippe: "Doing good and talk about it". Daumier criticizes the pseudo-humanitarian attitude of the bourgeois towards the victims of industrialization.
