A tip of the hat to LeadPipe for entering the French text into a translator to come up with this approximation of the drawing's caption: "This terrible show(entertainment) has to teach wolverines(gluttons) to put in their pleasures a little of caution at table as at the bed in the bed as è the dance, if they dread the fate(spell) of these poor young rats"
I don't read French... can anyone translate?
ReplyDeleteThis seems like a joke, it can't be real, surely?
Automatic translation:

It seems plausible enough to me. Once that spring is released... there could be enough force there to break a rat neck or crush a windpipe.
