The French text below the image (a line from Act IV, Scene 7 of Molière's play "The Miser") reads "Allons vite, des commissaires, des archers, des juges, de gênes, des potences, et des bourreaux je veux faire pendre tout le monde" or "Come quickly, commissioners, arches, judges, racks, gallows and executioners, I want to hang the whole world." Beneath, at left, the lithographer is identified. At lower right, the source of the line is identified ("L'avare comedie de Molière / Scéne 7t 4t acte"), and beneath that the publisher.

prints
Pictorial works produced by transferring images by means of a matrix such as a plate, block, or screen, using any of various printing processes. When emphasizing the individual printed image, use "impressions." Avoid the controversial expression "original prints," except in reference to discussions of the expression's use. If prints are neither "reproductive prints" nor "popular prints," use the simple term "prints." With regard to photographs, prefer "photographic prints"; for types of reproductions of technical drawings and documents, see terms found under "reprographic copies."
