| Satirical Lithograph France, 1870-1871 The Victoria & Albert Museum |
This satirical print depicts two men in the basket of a hot air balloon. One of the two men thumbs his nose at a Prussian soldier who is attempting to shoot them down. The basket of the balloon is hung with a bird cage containing pigeons.
Printed in France between 1870 and 1871, this print is from a set of caricatures, broadsheets and illustrations by caricaturist Jules Renard (1833-?) which have been bound in ten volumes. This one, like many of the others in these volumes, has been hand-colored with watercolors.
