Honoré Daumier
At the Universal Exhibition: Security check at the entrance: the bald need to lift their hats, and the short-sighted need to remove their glasses.
1867
Absurdist humor about exhibition security measures reveals Daumier's delight in bureaucratic overreach and social control, executed with his characteristic ability to find comedy in everyday frustrations.
