In the life of Honoré Daumier
The whole life14 February 1833
Release and Move to an Artists' Phalanstery
After his release from prison on 14 February 1833, Daumier, who had until then lived with his parents, moved into an artists' phalanstery on the Rue Saint-Denis, where his friends included Diaz, Huet, Jeanron, Decamps, and Préault.
1834
Closure of La Caricature; Move to Le Charivari
In 1834 La Caricature collapsed under the weight of the monarchy's prosecutions and fines; Daumier continued working for Philipon's journal Le Charivari, founded in December 1832, where he published scenes from "The Adventures of Robert Macaire" and other series.
September 1835
The "September Laws" Restricted Press Freedom
After an assassination attempt on Louis-Philippe, the "September Laws" were enacted, imposing harsh fines and prison terms for criticizing the king; Daumier's caricatures softened and turned to satire of the bourgeoisie and everyday Parisian life.
