The image is a black and white illustration titled "Actualités" by Honoré Daumier, dated November 29, 1857. It depicts a satirical scene with two elderly women, dressed in dark, heavy cloaks, standing close to each other with concerned expressions on their faces. They appear to be engaged in a worried conversation. To the left, there is a representation of the sun wearing a large, conical hat that resembles a witch's hat, casting rays of light. On the right, there is a caricatured comet with a fierce, monstrous face, emitting rays as it approaches. Accompanying the image is a caption in French: "—Ah! ma pauvre madame Chaffarou, c’est décidément fini de nous.... voilà la comète qui arrive et le soleil qui s’en va!...", which translates to "—Ah! my poor Madame Chaffarou, it’s definitely the end for us... here comes the comet and the sun is leaving!" The artwork humorously exaggerates the comical and fearful reactions of the characters to celestial events.

The image you've provided is a print of an illustration that appears to be from the 19th century based on its style and presentation. It includes the following elements:

  1. Two figures in the foreground, who appear to be engaging in a conversation. They are dressed in what looks like 19th-century attire, with coats and hats, suggesting they might be characters from that period.

  2. In the center of the background, there's an image of a volcanic mountain or hill with a crater at the top, emitting a large plume of smoke that rises upwards.

  3. On the right of the background, there's a fantastical depiction of a comet or meteor with an exaggeratedly fearsome face, tail, and what appears to be limbs. This celestial body is surrounded by a radiant halo or light and trails of smoke as it streaks across the sky.

  4. At the bottom, there is text in French, which translates to something along the lines of: "Ah! my good Mrs. Chafrarou, this is certainly the end of us... here comes the comet and the sun leaving us..."

  5. The print is labeled as "ACTUALITÉS" at the top, which suggests it might have been tied to contemporary events or social commentary of the time it was made.

  6. There is a signature in the lower-left corner which appears to be "h. Daumier." This is likely the signature of Honoré Daumier, a renowned French printmaker, caricaturist, painter, and sculptor known for his social and political commentary.

  7. The image appears to be numbered "392" on the top right corner, possibly indicating its sequence in a series of prints or pages from a publication.

The overall style and presentation suggest that this might be a satirical illustration, possibly commenting on the fears or popular reactions to astronomical events like comets, or it could be an allegory to social or political situations of the time.

This is a historical French satirical illustration titled "Actualités" (Current Events). The artwork shows two figures in long robes or cloaks having a conversation, drawn in a dramatic black and white style. In the background, there are two celestial phenomena depicted: what appears to be a comet in the sky and what might be the sun. The figures appear to be discussing these astronomical events with concern, as suggested by their postures and the caption in French below which mentions "la comète" (the comet) and "le soleil" (the sun). The drawing style is characteristic of 19th-century political or social commentary illustrations, with strong use of shading and expressive linework.

The caption in French roughly translates to: "Ah! my poor Madame Chaffarou, it's decidedly over for us... here comes the comet and there goes the sun!"

The overall tone of the piece appears to be one of superstition or anxiety about celestial events, which was common in historical periods when such phenomena were often interpreted as omens.

They are standing facing each other, and the man seems to be gesturing with his hands as if explaining or emphasizing something. Above the figures, there is some kind of explosion or eruption in the sky, possibly meant to represent troubled times alluded to in the French caption below the image, which translates to "Ah! my poor madame Chatfarou, it's decided then both of us... see the comet that arrives and the sun that goes away!". The sketch has an "Actualités" (News) header and a number 392 in the top right corner, suggesting it may have been part of a series of topical illustrations, likely from the mid-late 19th century based on the style.

This is a vintage lithograph, likely a satirical cartoon, featuring two elderly women in conversation against a dramatic backdrop.

On the left of the frame, a street lamp is depicted with a comically rendered face emitting rays of light. The light seems to shine directly towards the two women. The women, dressed in dark, draping garments and traditional head coverings, stand close together, deep in discussion. The woman on the right appears to be speaking with an expression of alarm or surprise, while the other listens intently.

In the upper right corner, there is a depiction of a comet, styled as a fierce dragon-like head with streaming smoke. This adds to the sense of drama and potential doom suggested by the women's conversation.

The lithograph has a caption in French, which translates to "Ah! My poor Madame Chaffarou, it is definitely the end of us... here is the comet arriving and the sun that is going away!..." This caption reinforces the apocalyptic theme of the image.

The print is labeled with "Actualités" and the number "392" at the top, and information about the publisher and lithographer at the bottom.

This image is a black-and-white lithograph by Honoré Daumier, a French caricaturist, painter, and printmaker. The piece is titled "Actualités" and is part of a series of prints that criticize French society and politics.

The image depicts two elderly figures standing in a barren landscape. The figure on the left, wearing a long cloak and hat, appears to be in a state of despair or resignation. The figure on the right, also dressed in a long cloak, seems to be consoling the first figure.

In the background, there is a large, glowing comet or meteor that is depicted as a menacing and destructive force. The comet is shown with a face and sharp teeth, suggesting a sinister presence. The comet is also emitting a trail of smoke or debris, indicating its destructive path.

The caption at the bottom of the image reads in French: "Ah! ma pauv 'madame Chaffarou, c'est décidément fini de nous... voilà la comète qui arrive et le soleil qui s'en va !..." This translates to: "Ah! poor Madame Chaffarou, it is decidedly over for us... here comes the comet and the sun is going away!" This caption suggests that the comet is a metaphor for a destructive force that threatens the world, and it is linked to the demise of the two figures.

The overall tone of the image is dark and ominous, with a sense of impending doom and the destruction of what the figures once knew. The lithograph is a commentary on the political and social upheaval of the time, as Daumier often used his art to criticize the French government and the social structures of his day.

This image is a black and white lithograph or etching that appears to be a satirical or humorous illustration, possibly from a French publication given the French text at the bottom. The title "ACTUALITÉS" at the top right suggests it might be commenting on current events or popular culture of the time.

The scene depicts two elderly figures, a man and a woman, both dressed in long, tattered coats and hats, standing in a desolate, barren landscape. The man, on the left, is leaning towards the woman, seemingly in a state of distress or concern. The woman, on the right, appears to be equally distressed, with her hands clasped together near her face.

In the background, there are two significant elements: on the left, a large, bright, cone-shaped object with a pointed top, emitting rays of light, and on the right, a comical, grotesque figure with a long, twisted neck and a wide-open mouth, also emitting rays of light. The comical figure seems to be a caricature of a celestial being or a personification of the sun.

The text at the bottom reads: "Ah! ma pauv' madame Chaffarou, c'est décidément fini de nous....voilà la comète qui arrive et le soleil qui s'en va!" which translates to "Ah! my poor Madame Chaffarou, it's definitely the end for us....here comes the comet and the sun is leaving!" This suggests that the image is a humorous take on the fear of comets and their supposed catastrophic effects, possibly referencing a specific comet that was observed at the time.
