Title (alt.):
Charivari. The barber is thinking about his creditors by putting an edge on his razor. The customer, stupefied by this method, starts to feel an ache approaching in his stomach !.....
Description:
An angry barber is about to give his customer a shave. xaggeration, physical distortion are typical signs of real caricatures and have been used by Daumier throughout this series. The grotesque is underlined by over-size heads and small bodies, a technique, which was later copied and developed further by André Gill.
