Notes
Biographical/historical: Charles Vernier's La Rigolbochomanie was a collection of satirical cartoons that took its title from the Parisian furor over the cancan dancer Mademoiselle Rigolboche, who was perhaps better known for her scandalous antics than for the refinement of her dancing. The prints in the collection were uncolored; these are hand-colored versions.
Biographical/historical: Charles Vernier, a French printmaker and painter, was famed for his caricatures and cartoons, many of which appeared in the satirical journal Le Charivari, an illustrated newspaper published in Paris from 1833 to 1937.
