Discuss the political message found in Honoré Daumier's Rue Transnonain and explain how it relates to Realism.

Drawing from current events, his caricatures and satirical images,depicting everyone from King Louis Philippe to a cuckolded husband,critique the social and political life of France at the time. His work often exaggerates traits of his subjects to play upon certain aspects of their character, like depicting King Louis Philippe as an engorged giant devouring his subject’s wealth. One of his greatest works, however, does not follow this pattern. Rue Transnonain, created in 1834 in response to political unrest, presents a dramatic imagining of a massacre of innocents. While the piece draws from current events, there is an unnerving sense of silence and anger not found in his other works.A member of Philipe's cabinet, Casimir Perier, took it upon himself to shut down numerous the labor unions that had formed during the start of the regime. Railway and mining contracts were freely distributed to their bourgeoisie supporters. Worker conditions under these contracts were rather poor with workers given no right to petition for decreased hours or increased pay, among others. Thus the July Monarchy under Perier, Molé, and Guizot was rather disadvantageous to the lower classes and Guizot's advice was to enrich yourself.
