Une once de bon sang : album de 60 caricatures

Cham, 1819-1879, artist · 1856 · Paris : Arnauld de Vresse, éditeur · 25 pictures

Une once de bon sang is a 1856 Paris album of sixty caricatures by the French cartoonist Cham (Amédée de Noé, 1819-1879), published by Arnauld de Vresse for a French readership of satirical humour. The four pictures are loose, hatched pen-and-ink scenes of domestic mischief, a boy with a toy gun, a Parisian street with a carriage and crowd, and a sooty street of fleeing figures, giving a designer quick studies in gesture, crowd movement and nineteenth-century dress.
