Table Manners

Comments: Wonderful site with over 50 scanned Daumier Prints. I did not include a site for his paintings since they are not part of the play, but students may want to wander over to Daumier Paintings to explore the similarities and differences of the two media. For even more art stuff send them to this site called Archive (http://www.artchive.com/welcome.htm) so they could discover other art of the era.
