Markings

Inscriptions Inscribed, on sheet, lower left: Pendant qu'ils sont la-bas revés a des labeurs | Eternels par la griffe implacable des chaines | Ayant sur eux la Chiourme au dedans des gehennes | Et crachant en jurons immondes leurs rancœurs (While they are out there, dreaming of the eternal labors, having on them the relentless claw of chains of the Chiourme, inside the Gehennas, swearing and spitting in their filthy rancor) Inscribed, on sheet, lower right: O Forçats! Tout le Bien que leur misère inspire | C'est de battre la caisse avec ces désespoires | Ici dans un boulet le Passant trouve a rire | Et la chaine en gros sous tinte sur les comptoirs (O Convicts! How well their misery inspires the drumbeat of such despair | here a passerby finds laughter in a ball, and the chain tinkles on the bar counters)
