“The Disadvantage of Buying a Newspaper That is Publishing the News Twelve Hours Before the others. “- How come I buy your paper and cannot find the news of today? - Sir, today's news was in yesterday's paper,” plate 139 ” (1848) is the kind of sheet Daumier made by the thousand: a blunt, observing drawing of ordinary people, the law, or the Paris street.
