<The Hundred-and-one Robert-Macaire [Caricaturana] >: (100) Mr. Daumier, your Robert-Macaire series is a charming thing!... It is the exact portrayal of the pilfering of our age... It is the faithful portrait of the crowd of rascals you find everywhere, in business, in politics, in finance, everywhere! everywhere!!... The cheats should hate you... But the estimation of honest people is yours... Have you still not received the cross of honour?... It's shocking!!...
