"La Mascarade Humaine is a collection of some of the most popular subjects depicted by Gavarni, and illustrating in a humorous way life in France in the mid-19th century". As a selected collection of Gavarni's prints, it was published for the first time 15 years after his death. Paul Gavarni (Paris, 1804 – 1866). Gavarni's father, Sulpice Chevalier, was from a family line of coopers from Burgundy. Paul began work as mechanical work in a machine factory but he saw that to make any progress in his profession, he had to be able to draw; accordingly, in his spare time in the evenings, he took classes in drawing. He devoted his special attention to architectural and mechanical drawing and worked at land surveying and mapping which led to his obtaining a position with the Government Ordnance Department as a draughtsman.It wasn't until his early thirties that he turned his attention to his proper vocation as an artist. less
