Le Marchand d'habits, 1842. The clothes seller. 'Habits à vendre! avez vous des chapeaux, des souliers, des vieux habits à vendre! Ce commerce fleuret à l'époque du carnaval, aux environs des écoles de droit et de médecine: l'étudiant cede volontiers sa garde-robe, pour se procurer un costume de dèbardeur, une épouse, un lèger doigt de champagne, et le cancan à discrétion!'. 'Clothes for sale! Do you have any hats, shoes, old clothes to sell! This was good business during the carnival, at the schools of law and medicine: the student willingly gives up his wardrobe, to obtain a docker's outfit, a wife, a sip of champagne, and a bit of the cancan!'. From Bohémiens de Paris.
