Antique colored lithograph titled "A Hire Horse," published in 1844 in the Comique series of the famous Parisian satirical newspaper Le Charivari and printed by the Aubert and Junca printing house, an important lithographic publishing company of the 19th century.

This print represents a humorous scene of Parisian daily life, showing a horse and its rider being expelled from a shop. This type of caricature was very popular during the July Monarchy and today serves as a testament to social satire and urban life in the 19th century.

Colored lithograph printed and then enhanced, presented under glass with a cardboard Marie-Louise mount and an antique gold-painted wooden and plaster frame.

The whole forms a beautiful decorative wall object, typical of the bourgeois interiors of that time, ideal for a cabinet of curiosities, an office, a library, or antique-style decor.

Overall good condition. Old paper showing some browning and slight signs of wear, normal for a print of this era. Antique frame with minor wear and patina.

Original 19th-century lithograph, not a reproduction.

Frame dimensions: 51 x 44 x 3 cm / Lithograph: 25 x 21 cm.
