"Grande Et Terrible Croisade Entreprise Par Les Burgraves Contre Les Journalistes" is a lithograph created by the renowned French artist and caricaturist Honoré Daumier. This work is part of Daumier's extensive oeuvre that often satirized the social and political landscape of 19th-century France. The title translates to "The Great and Terrible Crusade Undertaken by the Burgraves Against the Journalists," and it reflects Daumier's sharp critique of the tensions between the press and the powerful.

Daumier, who lived from 1808 to 1879, was a prolific artist known for his incisive and humorous depictions of contemporary life, particularly in his lithographs, which were published in various periodicals of the time. His work often targeted the bourgeoisie, the legal profession, and the political elite, employing caricature as a means to expose the follies and vices of society.

The term "Burgraves" in the title refers to the medieval German title for a ruler of a fortified town, but in the context of Daumier's lithograph, it likely symbolizes the established authorities or the aristocratic elite. The "journalists" represent the burgeoning power of the press, which was becoming an increasingly influential force in public life and politics during the 19th century.

"Grande Et Terrible Croisade Entreprise Par Les Burgraves Contre Les Journalistes" is emblematic of Daumier's critical perspective on the struggle between these two entities—the traditional powers and the modern media. The artwork would have resonated with a public that was witnessing the growing pains of a society in the midst of modernization and the rise of democratic ideals.

As with many of Daumier's lithographs, this piece would have been circulated widely, contributing to the public discourse and reflecting the artist's commitment to social commentary through his art. Today, Daumier's works are studied for their historical significance and their artistry, offering insight into the societal changes and conflicts of his time.
