Excerpt from La Caricature Révolutionnaire
Les Goncourt (2) le croyaient, prétendant que le génie de la France n'est pas caricatural et soutenant que les estampes satiriques y étaient rares au xv1u° siècle. Nous avons montré que malgré cette assertion, il s'en rencontre un nombre assez important dans plusieurs de nos collections publiques, comme celle du département des estampes àla Bibliothèque nationale. (3) Il faut ajouter que les mémoires et les pamphlets en signalent aussi de fort curieuses, dont beaucoup malheureusement ont disparu.
