TWO CAPACITIES OF THE OLD REGIME. - HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT, MONSIEUR DE BLOIS FLOTTÉ.... NOWADAYS ANYBODY CAN BECOME A DEPUTY, EVEN WITH A FORTUNE OF LESS THAN 50 ECUS! ...AFTER ALL I HAD AN INCOME OF 40,000 FRANCS.... SO IT WAS QUITE OBVIOUS THAT I UNDERSTOOD ALL THE PROBLEMS.... MY MEANS SIMPLY MADE IT POSSIBLE.

Honoré Daumier

Deux capacités de l'ancien régime. - Comment trouvez-vous cela, m'sieu de Blois flotté, aujourd'hui tout le monde peut être Député sans avoir seulement cinquante écus de fortune.... moi, j'avais quarante mille francs de rente..... j'étais apte à comprendre toutes les questions.... mes moyens me le permettaient!....
