= Sander 207; Ray 174: "For many of Daumier's admirers his lithographs of 1870-1871 represent the peak of his achievement. They are in his last style, massive, stripped down, direct, which speaks as nothing else could for this tragic period in France's history (...). It should be mentioned that Cham's contributions to this album, though trivial in comparison with Daumier's monumental compositions, are by no means negligible. He provides the detail that Daumier omitted. (...)".
