10 HEURES DU MATIN. Mr. Coqueles ayant rencontré au jardin des Plantes Mlle Palissandre à laquelle il eût le bonheur d'offrir une rose pompon le 1er mai 1804, a obtenu un rendez vous, et s'etant mais en frais d'une paire de gants a 29 sous, il jette un coup d'oeil à son miroir avant d'aller en bonne fortune.
Trustman, Benjamin A., Trustman, Julia M. · 1839
A bachelor is putting on his gloves as he looks at himself in a mirror. Daumier is showing us the day and activities of a bachelor, in this case of Monsieur Coquelet. It starts with his waking up at seven in the morning and ends at 9 in the evening when he goes to bed. The series reads like a story and is therefore ideal for publication as an album.
