PCT4260936: Cartoon d'animaux - soldats: Grandville engraving, extracted from the book Private and Public Life of Animals (“Les animaux ints par eux memes”), Hetzel edition 1867 p. 561 - Chapter entitled “Tablets of the Giraffe”, written by Charles Nodier. Extract from the text: “” The occasion of these massacres is usually the sound nothing called a word, or the indefinable nothing called an idea. In the absence of the natural weapons that the wise forecast of Providence has denied to man, he has invented, for these horrific collisions, instruments of death that infallibly destroy all that they touch and which are generally copies of those whose nature has equipped the Animals for their defense; they are seen carrying alongside the thigh, with a sort of of pride, a long and pointed sword like that of the Unicorn or a curved and sharp sword like that of the Grasshopper.”, Grandville (Jean Ignace Isidore Gerard) (1803-47) / Bridgeman Images

PCT4259807: Illustration of Jules Verne's novel “Around the Moon””, drawing by Emile Bayard, Hetzel edition/Voyages extraordinaire 1870. This illustration highlights the relationship of inspiration between the two novels “lunar”” by Jules Verne and the two albums by Tintin made by Hergé, “Objectif Lune” and “On a Marché sur la Lune”. In E. Bayard's drawing, we see the whimsical astronaut Michel Ardan (a character created by Verne based on his friend, photographer Nadar), imagining himself joyfully fooling on the projetile launched towards the Moon during an outing into space. A situation close to the inadvertent exit of Captain Haddock drunk on the rocket, in Tintin's adventures., Bayard, Emile Antoine (1837-91) / Bridgeman Images
