Une discussion littéraire à la deuxième Galerie.

Trustman, Benjamin A., Trustman, Julia M. · 1864

A literary argument turns violent in the stalls of a theater. The Art Institute of Chicago has in its collection a rather unusual print from the former Gaston-Dreyfus collection. This impression, printed on ivory paper (referred to as white paper in the Daumier literature) after the addition of lettering but before the Charivari edition, is extremely rare. As Roger Passeron noted, it was "probably printed in only a few proofs on white paper and is therefore as rare as a regular first state" (Daumier: Témoin de son temps, Paris: BN, 1979). The theater was a popular place for the public to "release steam". It was not unusual to see fistfights between spectators who disagreed in the interpretation of a play (Ginistry and Bapst). Laran in his preface to the important Daumier exhibition of the National Library in Paris in 1834 admired Daumier's ability to catch a movement like only a genius can do it.
