A sense of humour






The following pictures are selected
from the two volumes of Gavarni's
"Oeuvres Choisies" published by Hetzel,
Paris 1846-8. In choosing them the
publishers have been careful to exclude any
illustrations likely to offend English taste
or too local in interest for the allusions
to be generally intelligible.
