Daumier lithograph: two men meet on a street, one with a cane and one with a top hat

A lithograph in black ink on white paper shows two men meeting in an urban street. The taller man in a dark coat and cravat smiles broadly, holding a hat and a cane-like stick, while the older man in a long coat leans on a cane and turns toward him. Caption text in French runs along the bottom margin, with the plate number 7 at upper right.
