Description: "Les poires" ("The Pears"), published 1834 in Le Charivari. Redrawn for wood , possibly by Honoré Daumier, after Charles Philipon´s original pen and bister-ink sketch "La Métamorphose du roi Louis-Philippe en poire" ("The Metamorphosis of King Louis-Philippe into a Pear") drawn in a courtroom in 1831, Bibliotheque Nationale de France, Paris. The set begins with an accurate portrait of King Louis-Philippe (1830-1848) and gradually transforms into a pear. This set would become the symbol of the overweight king.
