Tiens, ce n'est rien que des peintures!..., 1855. Pun on the French word toile which can mean canvas or cloth. - 'Tiens, ce n'est rien que des peintures!...on m'avait dit que c'était ici qu'on devait réunir toutes les toiles les plus remarquables et j'étais venu pour en choisir une pièce pour te faire des chemises!...que c'est donc ridicule de tromper le monde comme ça!'. Wife to her husband: 'Look, it's nothing but paintings!...I was told that it was here that all the most remarkable canvases were to be had, and I had come to choose a piece to make you some shirts!...how ridiculous it is to deceive people like that!'. From L'Exposition Universelle.
