This is an image of a lithograph featuring a humorous illustration. At the top, the caption reads "LA PÊCHE," which translates to "The Fish" or "Fishing" from French. The illustration portrays a top-hatted man standing on the ice, angling through a hole as a form of ice fishing. Behind him, in the distance, another individual appears to be running or skating across the ice. The landscape is wintry with buildings faintly visible in the background. Below the illustration, there's a caption that reads "La passion de la Pêche poussée jusqu'au dernier degré ... Réaumur!" This translates to "The passion for fishing pushed to the last degree ... Reaumur!" The name "Réaumur" refers to the Réaumur temperature scale, which was used in France and some other parts of Europe before the metric system was widely adopted. Here, it's a play on words, literally meaning that the fisherman's passion is so intense that it goes to extreme (perhaps freezing) degrees, and figuratively suggesting he's taking his hobby to the extreme. In the lower-left corner, there are some handwritten numbers and in the lower right, the print states the names of those associated with the creation and distribution of the image, likely the artist, lithographer, or publisher.

This is a French satirical illustration titled "La Pêche" (The Fishing). The image shows a man in formal 19th-century attire, wearing a top hat and long coat, fishing by what appears to be a frozen pond or river. The humor comes from the fact that instead of fish, he seems to be "fishing" for running street urchins or children in the background, as depicted by small figures fleeing across the ice. The man's posture suggests he's holding a fishing rod and waiting patiently, just as one would when fishing for actual fish. There's text at the bottom in French that suggests this is a commentary on the "passion for fishing taken to the extreme." The illustration is done in a simple black and white sketch style, typical of 19th-century satirical prints.
