“Evening Shower at Ōhashi Bridge” from the Series One Hundred Famous Views of Edo

Caricaturana 17: We're shareholders of the agricultural and arch-fib institute of Coëtbo, of Pysigno-trap, formerly the sanitary society of Mors-Lycos, of the warranty paper for thieves, of the Hoax, a very political newspaper, and of a group of other philanthropic operations; we've just received our dividends and we're using them to eat on a pleasure trip... waiter, another sou's worth of cheese!

BOHEMIANS OF PARIS 12: THE BAILIFF'S MAN: They call us enemies of liberty!... what are those young fellows there complaining about... they're being taken in a carriage, and they've got a page, at the back... there's a kind of one!

BOHEMIANS OF PARIS 9: SPONGER: Let's see! a first class wedding at Véry's! forward with the white gloves, I shall greet the bride as a friend of the groom... and the groom; as an acquaintance of the bride!

Caricatures of the Day: The bourgeois at the Salon: Let's see... What's that?... (reading from his catalogue) "No. 387. Portrait of Mr. B*** stock-broker"... well... well!... oh! how stupid I am... 386 is the portrait of Mr. B***, this is a portrait of a bull by Mr. Bracassat... I'd also say... that the idea of having yourself painted with horns as big as that... after that, you can't refuse a stock-broker anything

The Representatives Represented 1: J. Martial Bineau: Portrait drawn from life at the moment when this terrible person gives himself up to his favourite passtime, which consists of slashing pictures and breaking those objects of art which fall under his hands

Affectation 2: I said to myself: do they think we're from the rue des Lombards?... There's a little air about you which is not that of a confectioner at all

Strangers in Paris 7: A slight queue at the door of the Palais de l’Industrie

Ancient History 47: Pygmalion. Oh triumph of arts! what was your surprise, / Great scupltor, when you saw your marble come alive, / And with a chaste and gentle manner lean forward / To ask for a pinch [of snuff]. (Count Siméon)

TODAY'S PHILANTHROPISTS 9: “Yesterday, in the rue St. Honoré, a respectable old man fell, struck by an attack of apoplexy, it would have been the end of him had not the celebrated Doctor Cabassol, who was by chance at his window at No. 107, hastened to fly to his aid: thanks to intelligent and prodigious help together with the most touching solicitude the sick man was promptly restored to life. Our celebrated Doctor Cabassol topping his generous behaviour wanted to receive as payment for his care only the thanks of a family which will eternally bless his name. Honour to Doctor Cabassol!” －Look here, it's you who's the respectable old man in question, yesterday you failed to fall when coming to see me, you could have injured yourself and then I could have saved you... I contrived it all a little more dramatically for the newspaper... it won't do you any harm and it'll do me a lot of good!

TRIVIAL THINGS 8: －Don't talk to me about it, it's pitiful:there's a man who's spent his week's money on strong drink, you should look after such unfortunates... －Well at least, pick him up!... －Certainly not... he didn't get drunk at my place!

SENTIMENTS AND PASSIONS 4: This Gentleman, on leaving the Tavern where he has lost his last twenty francs, thinks of Rotschild [sic]; of fillets of St. Cloud; of selling his matress, ... of everything, except... not playing again

LIFE'S HAPPY DAYS 24: THE CASHING IN OF A NOTE: －There you are young man... against your bill of exchange for five hundred francs, I give you two hundred brand-new francs, plus a barely used camel... it comes from one of our last forays and will shortly disembark at Toulon... －I'll still take the cash... I'll make a present of the camel to Josephine... she can use it to take donkey rides in Montmorency valley!..

PARLIAMENTARY IDYLLS 2: THE INDISCREET FAUNS: Come, Cholë come my sister; / amenable to my entreaties, / The virgin with the golden quiver has rid these glades./ Of fauns and Taschereaus./ Thus speaks Nisa. Laughing between the boughs / Two hidden Taschereaus turn upon those hips. /The ardour of their treacherous gaze. (Short-lived Poems by Count de Mantalembert.)

JOURNEY TO CHINA 1: THE DISEMBARKATION. Each traveller who lands at a port in China is immediately conducted, like a wrong-doer, between two rows of inquisitive people to the passport office: hardly has he touched the soil of the Celestial Empire, than he becomes the prey of luggage-porters, hotel-boys, interpreters, messengers and other highwaymen authorised by the Chinese police

BOHEMIANS OF PARIS 22: THE CLOTHES SELLER: “Closes to sell!... any hats, shoes, old clothes to sell!” This trade fourishes at carnival time in the vicinity of the schools of law and medicine: the student willingly sells his wardrobe to get himself a stevedore's costume, a wife, a small thimble-full of champagne and limitless tittle-tattle!
