Amédée de Noé

Charles Amédée de Noé, known as Cham (26 January 1818 – 6 September 1879), was a French caricaturist and lithographer.

He instead attended painting workshops hosted by Nicolas Charlet and Paul Delaroche and began work as a cartoonist.

In 1843, he began to have his illustrations published in newspapers like Le Charivari, a publication where he was on staff for thirty years.

Later works included Proudhon en voyage and Histoire comique de l'Assemblée Nationale.

One example is his caricature of Alexander Dumas crossed dressed like a wet nurse, which was a popular profession for black women in the post-slavery era in 19th-century France.
