A scene dreamed of by cartoonist Grandville during a nightmare that just preceded his death. Georges Bataille wrote about this engraving: the criminal dreams that he has just hit a man in a dark wood.. Human blood was spread and, following an expression that presents a fierce image in mind, it sweated an oak. In fact, he is not a man but a tree trunk... bloody................. under the deadly weapon. The victim's hands are raised begging but in vain. Blood is still running. It is then that the enormous eye opens in a dark sky chasing the criminal through space, to the bottom of the seas where he devours him after taking the shape of a fish. March 1847

Cartoon: La Chambre des Deputes vue comme un Palais des Monpes - Engraving by Grandville, extracted from the book “” Private and public life of animals (Les animaux painted pa them memes)”, Hetzel edition 1867 p. 566 - Chapter entitled “Tablets of the Giraffe”, written by Charles Nodier. Extract from the text: “”... a multitude of business characters, tumultuous, noisy, who differed, at first glance, from the rest of Men only by a more characteristic ugliness... which I easily attributed to the habit of serious meditations and serious affairs. [...] They would jump, call their opponents with shouts and threatening gestures, or show them their teeth with scary faces... It was impossible for me to grasp a word in this immense hustle and I withdrew from tired war, horribly deafened by vociferations, squeaks, whistles, hoees, without being able to establish the appearance of a conjecture about the object and the results of the deliberations.”
