In 1834 he produced the lithograph "Rue Transnonain, 15 April 1834" depicting the massacre in the rue transnoin which was part of the April 1834 riots in Paris. It was designed for the subscription publication "L'Association Mensuelle". The profits were to promote freedom of the press and defrayed legal costs of a lawsuit against the satirical, politically progressive journal "Le Charivari" to which Daumier contributed regularly. The police discovered the print hanging in the window of printseller Ernest Jean Aubert in the Galerie Véro-Dodat (passageway in 1st arrondissement) and subsequently tracked down and confiscated as many of the prints they could find, along with the original lithographic stone on which the image was drawn. Existing prints of Rue Transnonain are survivors of this effort.
