Daumier, Honoré (1808-1879). Card players (Robert Macaire). "La part du Lion". Orig. lithograph, 1838. Plate nr. 22 from 'Caricaturana' Series. Orig. old colouring. With title and 3 lines of French text under the picture. 21,5:26,5 cm (8 1/2 x 10 1/2 inch.). Printed on paper sized 26:31,5 cm.

Text under the picture (DeepL translator): "The lion's share. Slow down! Slow down, gentlemen! We have a hundred louis; I am entitled to eighty, eighteen go to Mr. Le Comte de St. Bertrand, that leaves two, and there are fifteen of you claiming them... These endless claims are strange! Really, we can't be mistaken like this! What the devil, gentlemen, we are all honest people, come to an agreement, share these two louis, let's not cause a scandal!"
