PCT4260936: Cartoon d'animaux - soldats: Grandville engraving, extracted from the book Private and Public Life of Animals (“Les animaux ints par eux memes”), Hetzel edition 1867 p. 561 - Chapter entitled “Tablets of the Giraffe”, written by Charles Nodier. Extract from the text: “” The occasion of these massacres is usually the sound nothing called a word, or the indefinable nothing called an idea. In the absence of the natural weapons that the wise forecast of Providence has denied to man, he has invented, for these horrific collisions, instruments of death that infallibly destroy all that they touch and which are generally copies of those whose nature has equipped the Animals for their defense; they are seen carrying alongside the thigh, with a sort of of pride, a long and pointed sword like that of the Unicorn or a curved and sharp sword like that of the Grasshopper.”, Grandville (Jean Ignace Isidore Gerard) (1803-47) / Bridgeman Images
