Honoré-Victorin Daumier. Robert “- Well, well! My dear how's business ” Bertrand “- Good, very good, I am quite content. Unfortunately we don't have a penny to continue! - Oh blast! - But an investor still owes us 200,000 and will come up for signature either tonight or latest tomorrow morning. - About I urgently need a new pair of boots,” plate 6 from Robert Macaire. 1841.
