This is What Nowadays is Called a Light Work. “- My God, what's this!.... an encyclopaedia? “- No sir.... it is the novel 'the mysteries of Paris' that Madame bought at the bookshop of our Master. We will bring you the rest of the oeuvre as soon as it appears,” This is What the Royal Printer is Sending Us. “- What! I was told I would get some light documentation about the question in question. - That's right, monsieur, we'll bring you the rest right away,” plate 13 from Revue Caricaturale by Honoré-Victorin Daumier, print, 1843
