This print was produced while Darjou was working for the satirical publication 'Charivari' (from 1860-69), and commemorated the move from offices to No.20, rue Rossini. Charivari was founded in 1832 by Charles Philipon as a daily satirical pamphlet; amongst the staff were Cham, Daumier and Gavarini. Making cartoons into a celebrated artform, it particularly attacked the July Monarchy, Louis-Philippe, and the bourgeoisie. It flourished again during the Second Empire, where its scope extended to include politics, literature and drama, and continued to be produced into the twentieth century.
