La CAROTTE DE L'ÉLECTION. Mon cher ami, ne croyez pas que je vienne vous demander votre voix, je respecte trop l'indépendance des opinions; c'est madame la baronne qui m'a dit: Allez voir ce pauvre Galouzot; dites à sa petite femme qu'elle me néglige; que je lui en veux, informez-vous de leurs délicieux enfants et dites que je veux absolument les avoir à diner.

Title (alt.):
Charivari. THE ELECTION HOAX. My dear friend... do not think that I have come to ask you for your vote. I respect the independence of opinion too much for that. It is the Baroness who said to me,"Go see that poor Galouzet, tell his little wife that she is neglecting me and that I am angry with her for that. Ask about their lovely children, and say that I absolutely insist on having them over for dinner."
Description:
The expression "Les Carottes" refers to a vaudeville play by Ernest Jaime (1802-1884), performed in Paris in 1843. "Tirer une carotte à quelqu'un" is the French equivalent of "to play a trick on someone". It is assumed that the text for this print has been written by Jaime.
