Dessin à l'encre. Carnaval

Original drawing attributed to Gavarni created for the carnival series. This drawing indeed appears engraved in the published album Gens de Paris, Carnaval (1864), and reprinted in the second printing of Le Diable à Paris in 1868. We provide a photograph of the engraving in the description. Hatching drawing technique which allows faithful reproduction by the engraver, and often used by Gavarni.
