Description

This print was published in Le Charivari (August 08, 1841) as plate 26 from the series Parisian Types.
A vertically oriented lithograph depicts two light-skinned men. On our left, a man in a light top hat gestures pleadingly toward an older man on our right. The second man wears a dark top hat and holds a cane, his brow furrowed. Sketchy, expressive lines define their forms. Above, text reads "TYPES PARISIENS." French text is inscribed below, and the artist's signature, "h.D.," appears in the lower right corner.

Yes, Sir, your respectable air encourages me...
