Print, Etching on Paper, Uncolored, FANTAISIES. PRODIGE DE LA CHIMIE.
Uncolored etching of a satirical depiction of a man selling Pommade de Lion. A man with a lion's head is standing on a stage hawking the Pommade, while a very long line of people waits to get the product. The foreground shows bald people rubbing it on their heads, and people with very exaggerated hair who have already used it. A balloon is tethered to the ground in the background. The balloon is labeled: "no. 537. Envoi de Pommade aux Habitants de la Lune."
