A lovely treatise with charming illustrations heightened in watercolors by a contemporary hand, showing horses, the elephant Baba and the stag Coco, drawn in Antonio Franconi's circus. The celebrated Italian Franconi family stood out in the field of circus equestrian displays thanks to Antonio Franconi (1738-1836). They named their theatre, built by François Delpont in the jardin des Capucines along the rue Saint-Honoré in 1807, the Cirque Olympique. The second theatre to bear this name was on the Faubourg du Temple. The origins of this circus go back to 1780 and Astley's horses, but the novelty of these displays piqued the curiosity of Parisians. Antonio Franconi then joined forces with his father, no less talented a man in the art of training animals (so important at the time) for our entertainment.

Poet of the bohemian Montmartre of the beginning of the last century, pillar of the Agile Rabbit, familiar with the Bouscarat of the Place du Tertre or the Bateau-Lavoir, Gazanion is by turns the good friend and the intimate of the writers, poets and painters of the Butte at their beginnings, Max Jacob, Pierre Mac Orlan, Roland Dorgelès, Gaston Couté, Andre Salmon, Pablo Picasso, Andre Warnod, Louis Marcoussis or Francis Carco who admires his Songs for the one who did not come ( Vers and Prose , 1910 ) and often nurses at his house the days of drought. His meeting with Apollinaire goes back to the Golden Sun, the time when he recites for the first time his Rhenish Night - it is 1903. Poets, they will not lose sight more. Gazanion will stand out for the defense of Mamelles de Tiresias during the memorable heckling of their performance.
