Artist: Georges Tiret-Bognet – 1891

    The text on the top-left hand corner is a quotation from Act I of Les Troyens: Dieux protecteurs de la ville éternelle ... It so happens that a truncated version of La Prise de Troie was given in Nice in February 1891, but it is not know whether this cartoon was prompted by these performances.
    The cartoon is in the Bibliothèque nationale de France. We are most grateful to the BNF for granting us permission to reproduce it here.
