Volière des rapaces

1841

HOW TO BECOME A GREAT MATHEMATICIAN. MONSIEUR MOUTONNET, YOU HAVE MADE YET ANOTHER ERROR IN YOUR CALCULATIONS... COPY OUT FOR ME SIX TIMES THE VERB: I HAVE MADE A MISTAKE IN MY ADDITION! (MR. MOUTONNET, NOW FURIOUS, ANSWERS BACK WITH SOME SIGNS, WHICH REALLY HAVE VERY LITTLE IN COMMON WITH ALGEBRA)

Honoré Daumier

Comme on devient grand Mathematicien. - Mr. Moutonnet, vous avez encore commis une erreur dans votre calcul... vous me copierez six fois le verbe je me suis trompé dans mon addition! (Mr. Moutonnet, devenu furieux, réplique par des signes qui ne sont point algébriques).

1844

CONSCRIPT REPLACEMENT AGENCY. -THERE'S MERCHANDISE AN' MERCHANDISE! YOU WAN' A COMMON REPLACEMENT, THAT'LL COST YER ONLY 800 F., BUT I WARN YER, THEY'RE ALL SWINDLERS, CROOKS WHO DON'T STAY WITH THEIR REGIMENT, WHO SKEDADDLE AT THE FIRST OPPORTUNITY AND WHO 'AVE TER BE RETRIEVED....

Honoré Daumier

Bureau de remplacemens militaires. Y a Marchandise et Marchandise ! voulez-vous un remplacement commun, ça n’vous coûtera que 800 fr. – mais j’vous en préviens, c’est des filous, des voleurs, ça n’reste pas au régiment, ça s’donne de l’air à la première occasion et faut r’joindre…….. Voulez-vous y mettre 1,500 francs, prenez-moi ça, c’est pas beau, mais c’est bon, ça a des papiers …….. tant qu’on en veut ! et ça n’bronchera pas du service pendant vos six ans. Bertrand (à part) Compte là d’ssus, Pékin !
