Les Baigneurs. File... File... Moellon! v'là le municipal..., 1839. Hue donc en v'là encore des chauds! Faute de quatre sous, on ne peut pas se laver...le nez. C'est gentil, c'est du propre! (The Bathers. Run, run, Moellon! It's the municipal police... Giddy-up, here come the troublemakers again! For the want of four sous, one can't wash...one's nose. That's charming, that's tidy!) Poor bathers fleeing officials near the Seine, highlighting class differences and urban conditions.
