The subjects of his lithographs became much more aggressive. His prison sentence did not deter him from producing political statements and, in fact, only fueled his rage. Daumier's antimonarchist and liberal subjects that were printed in this paper eventually cost the journal censorship and the artist six months in jail (31 August 1832 to 14 February 1833) plus a 300-franc fine. That same year he joined La Caricature, a political journal founded by the republican artist-publisher, Charles Philipon (1802-1862). The July revolution of 1830, which established Louis-Philippe as the constitutional monarch in France, coincided with Daumier's creation of satirical lithographs aimed at this new government. Around 1825 he began a five-year apprenticeship with the publisher and lithographer Zépherin Belliard (1798-?). In Paris Daumier studied drawing with Alexandre Lenoir (1761-1839) and at the Académie Suisse. Honoré Daumier was eight years old when his father, a glazier and frame maker who had decided to pursue his poetic talents in Paris, sent for the wife and three sons he lad left behind in Marseilles.
