No need to introduce this famous publication satire of contemporary society of the Second Empire, whose company is due to Hetzel, who under the pseudonym Stahl signed several texts and commissioned texts to famous feathers of the time Balzac, Musset, Sand, the BEDOLLIERE ... the last chapter recounts the imprisonment of various writers that one can see in different locations garden plants. One of the great works of imagination of Grandville, full of verve and imagination.
