"Les Gens De Justice: Three Plates" is a notable series of lithographs by the French artist Honoré Daumier (1808–1879), a prolific painter, printmaker, and caricaturist renowned for his social and political commentary. Created in the mid-19th century, this series forms part of Daumier's broader critique of the French legal system and judiciary, subjects to which he returned repeatedly throughout his career. Daumier's work in "Les Gens De Justice" is characterized by its sharp satirical edge, incisive humor, and keen observations of character and society.

Daumier's lithographs for "Les Gens De Justice" were initially published in the French newspaper "Le Charivari," a periodical known for its political and social satire. The series features a range of characters from the legal profession, including judges, lawyers, and litigants, depicted in various settings such as courtrooms, law offices, and public spaces. Through exaggerated facial expressions, postures, and interactions, Daumier exposes the vanity, greed, and corruption he perceived within the legal system of his time.

The three plates in this series are among over 4,000 lithographs Daumier produced over his lifetime, yet they stand out for their particularly pointed critique of the justice system. Each plate is meticulously crafted, showcasing Daumier's mastery of lithography—a printing process that allowed for the mass production of his works, thereby reaching a wide audience and amplifying his social commentary.

Daumier's "Les Gens De Justice" not only offers a window into the socio-political climate of 19th-century France but also serves as a timeless reflection on the universal themes of justice, morality, and human folly. His work remains influential, continuing to be studied and appreciated for its artistic merit and its insightful commentary on the human condition and societal structures.

As an artist who was once imprisoned for his politically charged work, Daumier's commitment to social critique through art is evident in "Les Gens De Justice: Three Plates." This series, like much of his oeuvre, underscores the power of visual satire as a form of resistance and commentary, cementing Daumier's legacy as one of the most important political caricaturists of the 19th century.
