Désagrémens des Parapluies

Print dimensions: 23 x 27

A framed, hand-colored French satirical print from the early 19th century.
The print is part of the famous Caricatures Parisiennes series, published by print dealer Aaron Martinet.

In the early 19th century, the umbrella became an increasingly fashionable and sought-after accessory among Paris’s middle classes. Since many Parisians still had difficulty handling its rather cumbersome and large mechanism at the time, caricaturists eagerly seized on the comic situations it created in the streets.
