"Rue Transnonain" is a lithograph created by the French printmaker, caricaturist, painter, and sculptor Honoré Daumier (1808–1879) on April 15, 1834. The work is a powerful social commentary on an event that took place on April 14, 1834, in the Rue Transnonain, a street in Paris. The incident occurred during a period of civil unrest when government forces brutally suppressed a workers' uprising led by the Society of the Rights of Man.

The lithograph depicts the aftermath of the government's violent crackdown on the insurgents. In the early morning raid, government troops stormed into a working-class building in the Rue Transnonain and, in the process of searching for insurgents, indiscriminately killed innocent residents, including women and children. Daumier's work captures the horror of the event with stark realism, showing the lifeless bodies of the victims, including a child crushed beneath the body of a man, presumed to be his father, in a domestic setting turned into a scene of massacre.

Daumier's lithograph was published in the weekly magazine "L'Association Mensuelle," which was a subscription publication that allowed Daumier to circumvent the censorship that was often applied to his politically charged work in the more widely circulated "La Caricature." "Rue Transnonain" stands as one of Daumier's most poignant and impactful works, serving as a testament to his commitment to social justice and his skill in using art as a means of political critique. The lithograph is not only a condemnation of the specific event but also an indictment of the oppressive regime of King Louis-Philippe, under whose rule the incident occurred.

Today, "Rue Transnonain" is recognized as a significant work of art and political journalism. It remains an important historical document, reflecting the turbulent social conditions of 19th-century France and the power of visual art to influence public opinion and effect social change. The lithograph is held in the collections of various art institutions around the world and continues to be studied for its artistic merit and its historical significance.
