Voilà donc mon pot de fleurs

Honoré Daumier (French, 1808–1879) Voila donc mon pot de fleurs qui va avoir du soleil... (There now! My flowerpot will have some sun...), 1852 Lithograph Gift of Eugene L. Garbaty, 1954.145

Now that the building next door has been torn down under Haussmannization, this couple can finally see the Seine, and their plant can get some sun.

Voila donc mon pot de fleurs qui va avoir du soleil ... je saurai enfin si c'est un rosier ou une giroflée !...

There now! My flowerpot will have some sun... I'll finally know if it's a rosebush or a carnation!...
