FACE, black ink: below image: 'I am a 29 year old female who loves plants and animals who came to San Franciso from a quiet town in Oregon 3 1/2 years ago. I don't like it here!

Honoré Daumier
This is a so called merchant, victim of his victims, crazy, squanderer and intriguing. He pays 1% to his creditors for 10 years, forgets about the past, does not care about the future, struts about the Bois de Boulogne with his yellow gloves, strolls along the boulevard des Italiens and theatre lobbies. He talks of honour and decency and calls his creditors thieves. He loves the pose of the political, industrial and moral victim and splashes the whole world.
