A Man Saved Against His Will. “- But I am telling you that I know how to swim and I could have pulled myself out of the water without the help of this gentleman! - That makes no difference.... the law is quite clear... you must pay 25 Francs to your rescuer.... for example, if you had been dead, you would only have had to pay him 15 Francs,” plate 7 from Les Canotiers Parisiens by Honoré-Victorin Daumier, print, 1843
