Lot description
Etching, 17,6 x 11,8 cm (visible), wove paper, French text (sm. hole, few light stains).
Good, later impression. Under passe-partout and frame.
Curious example of scatological humour. The text below the smoking and defecating man reads: "De peur qu'a vôtre nez mon cul ne fasse injure / Je parfume l'air de Clerac / Aprochez donc car je vous jure / Oue cest un excellent Tabac".
