Daumier’s 1831 parody of Louis-Philippe as Gargantua - his rapacious maw fed by the poverty stricken people of France. The July Monarchy responded by having Daumier arrested in August 1832, and his press and large quantities of his plates were seized. He resumed attacking the regime upon his release.
