Relief of Paris: venders of poultry and rabbits - scene near the rue Lafayette, 1871. Franco-Prussian War. '...another scene drawn by M. Pelcoq is that of the sellers of live poultry and rabbits in the Rue Lafayette, where they get high prices from genteel customers; but there is cause to believe that their trade is the product of theft, in the farmyards not before visited by foraging parties of the Prussian army'. From "Illustrated London News", 1871.
