On dit que les jolies femmes sont...demandées.., 1851. 'On dit que les jolies femmes sont de plus en plus demandées en Californie... - Dècidèment il faut que je parte pour ce pays lá!'. 'They say that beautiful women are more and more in demand in California... - I definitely have to leave for that country!'. (The implication would seem to be that the woman depicted believes herself to be attractive, but Daumier thinks otherwise). Series: Actualités; Periodical: Le Charivari, 2 October 1851.
