Pauvre Malheureux S'il Vous Plait
1848
Political cartoon titled "Etudes Sociales" or "Social Studies." A beggar wears a sign that reads "Pauvre Malheureux S'il Vous Plait", and elicits alms. The man wears a beat-up top hat and is accompanied by a dog on a short leash with a cup in its mouth. Text below: "-Dieu que c'est donc bete d'avoir ruine les riches... les v'la maintenant qui viennent demander l'aumone aux pauvres!" Translates: "God it's so stupid to have ruined the rich ... Now, there they come and ask the poor for alms!"
