Scènes humoristiques

A charming, short-lived French series from the 1880s, Scènes humoristiques was published by Hachette across just three issues. The series is most closely associated with the celebrated English illustrator Randolph Caldecott, whose warm, lively artwork filled its pages. Though brief, it stands as a delightful artifact of late-19th-century European comic publishing, showcasing Caldecott’s signature wit and visual storytelling at a time when the medium was still finding its form.
