Daumier's caricature of King Louis Philippe, titled "Gargantua", was published in December of 1831. He was brought to court in February of 1832 and charged with "inciting to hatred and contempt of the government and insulting the king" and sentenced to six months imprisonment with a fine of 500 francs. However, his sentence was suspended at that time and Daumier returned to work where he continued to produce provocative and antagonistic lithographs for the papers. It was at this time he started work on his first sculptures, the "Célébrités du Juste Milieu" (1832 - 1835). Later that year, his cartoon "The Court of King Pétaud" (1832) was published and he was arrested at his parents apartment in August of 1832 and placed in the prison of Sainte-Pélagie to serve his six months. Daumier remained defiant in prison and wrote a number of letters indicating that he was producing lots of drawings "just to annoy the government." The publication of "Gargantua" and his imprisonment brought Daumier considerable notoriety, and great popularity among some segments of the public, but little financial gain.
