Answer:

Honoré Daumier´s lithograph, Rue Transnonain, was made in April 1834 to commemorate the brutal murder of blameless civilians by the National Guard during the silk workers’ uprising in Lyon.

Step-by-step explanation:

The government promptly seized the stone, destroyed every printed image of it, and by the next year, political caricatures were officially banned.
