THIS IS A SO CALLED MERCHANT, VICTIM OF HIS VICTIMS, CRAZY, SQUANDERER AND INTRIGUING.

HE TALKS OF HONOUR AND DECENCY AND CALLS HIS CREDITORS THIEVES. HE LOVES THE POSE OF THE POLITICAL, INDUSTRIAL AND MORAL VICTIM AND SPLASHES THE

Honoré Daumier

Un soi disant Négociant, victime de ses victimes, fou, dissipateur et intrigant qui donne un pour cent à ses créanciers payable en dix ans, souffle sur le passé, se moque de l'avenir et se pavane en gants jaunes au bois de Boulogne, au Boulevard des Italiens, aux foyers des Théâtres, où il parle d'honneur, de probité appelle ses créanciers voleurs: se pose en victime politique, industrielle et morale! et éclabousse tout le monde.
