Newspapers at the grocer's. - Here is your lunch... as always two sous worth of cheese and three sous worth of newspaper..... it's pretty strong in the morning!...... - Yes the gruyere.... seems quite old!... (aside) in the old days the grocer sold fresh cheese wrapped up in old newspapers, nowadays he sells old cheese in a new newspaper..... makes no sense!. Caricature
Description:
A man at the grocery store is reading the newspaper used to wrap the wedge of cheese he just bought. he caption for this print was most likely supplied by either Jaime or Biais. Biais was a journalist and, like his colleague Clerc, responsible for the captions added to Daumier’s lithographs. The print refers to the fact that for the first time, newspapers were offered through street vendors and little shops instead of through subscriptions only.
