Merci! ce monsieur m'invite à chasser sur ses terres, je fais quarante lieues, et il me donne une alouette!
Title (alt.):
Thanks! this gentleman invites me to hunt on his land, I walk some forty leagues, and all this gets me is a lark.. Charivari
Description:
A man has been invited to hunt legally on someone else's land, but complains that he has not caught anything sufficient. Upon its legalization, nineteenth-century Parisian bourgeoisie immediately took to the new fancy of hunting and hunted around the forests and countryside of Paris. A new “fashion” was born and members of the Parisian middle class developed a hitherto unknown snobbism and passion for this sport.
