Image of debauchery, a man greets us by raising his glass while a second lying on his back looks at us upside down. On the left, in red letters "For the monument to Gavarni". In 1911, on the Place Saint-Georges in Paris, a monument paying homage to the illustrator Paul Gavarni was erected thanks, in particular, to a subscription launched by the Society of Lithograph Painters. Several fans like this one were sold to raise funds.
On the reverse side, a street scene with an elegant couple walking with their child, after Abel Truchet.
