Following the Parisian insurrection of April 13-14, 1834, the residents of the building at 12 rue Transnonain (today the rue Beaubourg), were massacred as punishment for a shot fired on an officer from a neighboring building. Published in the press and exhibited in shop windows, Daumier’s lithograph both witnesses and protests against this bloody police repression. It amplified the event and represents a summit of his art.
