" Pièce de théâtre " brodée " sur le thème du Salon, où l'on retrouve les noms de tous les artistes de l'époque, commentés et caricaturés par Gyp, qui inventa le personnage du petit Bob, gamin " gavroche ", pseudonyme qu'elle utilisait pour ses caricatures et ses dessins enfantins. Elle-même exposa au Salon". Gyp a peint, voire caricaturé, avec un rare don d'observation, le monde d'oisifs, de riches et de mondains, les parvenus et les aristocrates dégnérés de la haute société parisienne et cela, , non comme l'eût fait un auteur, car ses libertés de langage sont grandes, mais en spectateur narratif, malicieux sans nulle méchanceté, attaché surtout aux ridicules évidents de son entourage. 56 dessins en noir à pleine page, dessins caricaturaux et naïfs pleins d'humour. Bel exemplaire.
