This image is a cartoon by Honoré Daumier, titled "Les Spirités." It appears to be an illustration from the 19th century, as indicated by the date "1866" written in the upper left corner. The cartoon depicts a scene involving a man and a seated young woman, who is presumably his daughter, with her head tilted backward and eyes closed, creating a dramatic and intense expression. The man, seen from behind, is gesturing or making a point to another character, an older gentleman with a concerned or intrigued look, holding his hat in his hands.

In the background, several other people are observing the scene. The caption at the bottom in French reads, "Chut!... ma fille entre en communication avec l'Esprit du Dante!" which translates to "Shh!... my daughter is in communication with the Spirit of Dante!" This scene humorously portrays a spiritual or seance-like event, hinting at the father’s belief that his daughter is channeling the spirit of the famous poet Dante Alighieri. The use of exaggerated facial expressions and gestures is typical of Daumier’s satirical style.

This is an image of a vintage print titled "LES SPRITES par DAUMIER." It appears to be a lithograph or a similar type of print by the well-known artist Honoré Daumier. The print is from the year 1866, as indicated in the top left corner.

The scene depicted is a satirical representation of a spiritualist séance, which was a popular subject during the 19th century when spiritualism was in vogue. Two men are standing in the foreground, discussing something intently. One of the men, with sideburns and a top hat, appears to be surprised or incredulous, holding his hat and pointing toward a young woman seated at a table. The other man, possibly explaining the situation, has a beard, is tilting forward, and carries a small book or notepad.

The young woman at the table seems to be in a trance or meditative state, with her head resting on one hand while the other is extended slightly above the table, suggesting she might be acting as a medium during the séance. A ghostly figure appears behind her, possibly representing the spirit that is being communicated with.

The caption under the image says (translated from French): "Hush! ... my daughter enters in communication with the spirit of Dante!"

The image is humorous in nature, likely mocking the practices of spiritualism and the belief in communicating with the spirits of the deceased, which Daumier often did through his artwork. The room is sparsely decorated, with onlookers in the background who seem to be observing the event with various degrees of skepticism or belief.

The lithograph features Daumier's signature style of exaggerated expressions and social commentary; it stands as an historical artifact reflecting the cultural attitudes and events of his time.
