Charles Amédée de Noé , known as  Cham  (26 January 1818,  Paris  – 6 September 1879, Paris), was a  French   caricaturist  and  lithographer . Raised by a family who wished for him to attend a  polytechnic  school, he instead attended painting workshops hosted by  Nicolas Charlet  and  Paul Delaroche  and began work as a cartoonist. He eventually took up the  pseudonym  of "Cham".In 1839, he published his first book,  Monsieur Lajaunisse , which began a career that would span 40,000 drawings. In 1843, he began to have his illustrations be 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 . He wrote a number of  comic plays towards the end of his life.
