Plate 17: We're shareholders in the Institute of Agriculture..., from 'Caricaturana,' published in Les Robert Macaires
We're shareholders in the Institute of Agriculture and Goet-ho's puericulture, in Physio-trap, in the deceased sanitary company, in Mors-Lycos, in safe papers for thieves, in 'The Joke,' a very political newspaper and a host of other philanthropic speculations. We have just touched our dividend and we're spending it on our good health... Waiter, five cents worth of cheese!"
