- Summary

- Plate 11 from Charles Vernier's La Rigolbochomanie, a collection of satirical cartoons that took its title from the Parisian furor over the dancer Mademoiselle Rigolboche. Called the "queen of the cancan" by dance historian Ivor Guest, she was perhaps better known for her scandalous antics than for the refinement of her dancing.
- The French printmaker and painter Charles Vernier was particularly famous for his caricatures and cartoons, many of which were published in the satirical journal Le charivari.
