"Actualités" is a series of lithographic prints created by the French artist Honoré Daumier (1808–1879), a prominent caricaturist and painter known for his keen observation of social and political life in 19th-century France. This series, produced mainly for the newspaper "Le Charivari," spans from the 1830s to the 1870s and comprises several hundred lithographs that critique and satirize a wide range of subjects, including politics, the legal system, societal norms, and the behaviors of the bourgeoisie.

Daumier's work in "Actualités" is celebrated for its sharp wit, insightful commentary, and the artist's ability to distill complex social issues into compelling visual narratives. His lithographs often featured exaggerated characters and situations that, despite their humor, poignantly addressed the injustices and absurdities of his time. Daumier's mastery of the lithographic technique allowed him to achieve remarkable depth and texture in his prints, making them not only significant as political and social commentary but also as works of art.

The "Actualités" series served as a critical voice during a turbulent period in French history, which saw the July Monarchy, the Second Republic, the Second Empire, and the early years of the Third Republic. Daumier's lithographs were not merely illustrations of current events but were also a form of political activism, challenging the censorship laws of the time and advocating for freedom of expression.

Daumier's contributions through the "Actualités" series have had a lasting impact on the fields of caricature and political satire. His work remains influential to this day, not only for its artistic qualities but also for its bold critique of societal and political issues, demonstrating the power of art as a tool for social commentary and change.
