Title (alt.):
Charivari. - It is strange, since they hatched eight months ago...... these carps have not been growing in this pool.......... decidedly, I am afraid I have made a mistake, and have sown the seed of studs!......
Description:
A man has been trying to breed carps but has little success. In 1950's France, fish breeding became a popular trend because of Jean-Jacques Marie Cyprien Victor, a naturalist and member of the Academy of Science (1851) as well as a professor at the museum and Collège de France.
