The Salon of 1842: Charmed to see himself exhibited, the original seen here takes his wife to the Salon, and places her in front of his own image, in order to rejoice in the crowd's judgment. —Look, say some, it's Chinese Commissioner Lin! —No, says others, don't you see that it's a bit of natural history! — It is, joins in a gentleman with a catalogue, it is the portrait of Mr. D..., insurance broker. —Well, with a bonce like that he needn't insure it, because no one would steal it. (His lady wife leaves, extremely flattered.)
