The satirical magazine Charivari
was one of the most vocal opponents of the July Monarchy, repeatedly
prosecuted by the government for sedition and libel against the King. It
served as the model for the famous British satire magazine Punch, which was subtitled "The London Charivari".
Founded
by the political cartoonist Charles Phillipon, the journal attracted
many of the leading Romanticist illustrators, caricaturists and
draftsmen, including Bouzingo co-founder Célestin Nanteuil, Honoré
Daumier, Tony Johannot, and Grandville, and would later become one of the
key links between visual Romanticism and Realism.
