WELL-KNOWN TUNE Praise the asphalt and all its advantages! (Choir of Parisians on a rainy day.) --- - Who wants refreshments? - What a jester... as if we weren't refreshed enough already!. Charivari
Description:
Originally there existed an additional state of this print with the text "Chines de Parisiens". This version had however been refused by the censor since the policeman in the print had a great resemblance to the police president at the time. In the new state he was replaced by a drink vendor which rendered the print harmless.
