- Abstract
-
A very fat man, stuck in a turnstile in a passage between two buildings, is helped by a young boy (right) with a suitcase (a boot-black?) and a man in fur cap, perhaps a carrier whose handcart leans against the wall (left). The passage is identified on the left as "Passage de la Boule Rouge". A poster on the building on the right warns, "Avis aux etrangers sur les dangers de Paris"; below this advice is the printmaker's name and the imprint statement

"The series 'Musée Grotesque' consists of at least 65 plates, made over a long period between March 1814 and August 1829. They seem all to have been designed, and in some cases etched, by Godissart de Cari, and all are placed under his name in the British Museum. The first four plates of the series, unlike the others, do not carry the heading 'Musée Grotesque' but rather 'Les Nouvellistes' and are numbered 1 to 4."--British Museum online catalogue.
