PCT4258700: A scene dreamed of by cartoonist Grandville during a nightmare that just preceded his death. Georges Bataille wrote about this engraving: the criminal dreams that he has just hit a man in a dark wood.. Human blood was spread and, following an expression that presents a fierce image in mind, it sweated an oak. In fact, he is not a man but a tree trunk... bloody................. under the deadly weapon. The victim's hands are raised begging but in vain. Blood is still running. It is then that the enormous eye opens in a dark sky chasing the criminal through space, to the bottom of the seas where he devours him after taking the shape of a fish. March 1847, Grandville (Jean Ignace Isidore Gerard) (1803-47) / Bridgeman Images
