Masques Et Visages is a collection of satirical illustrations and social commentary originally published in Le Figaro, a prominent French newspaper, in 1868. Featuring the artwork of Paul Gavarni, a renowned caricaturist, and the editorial oversight of Hippolyte Villemessant, this volume offers a window into the social mores and cultural trends of 19th-century France.
