A drawing by Paul Gavarni, 1838, in his series Les Petits malheurs du bonheur (Little Misfortunes of Happiness).

The caption reads: Pour ne pas afficher ses amours, sortir précipitamment par une porte dérobée et rester pris au traquenard. (In order not to show off your love life, you rush out through a back door and get caught in the trap.)

This is Henriette D’Angeville, the first woman who in 1838 climbed Mont Blanc unassisted. For this she had 18 bottles of wine, 26 roast chickens, and a carrier pigeon.

And I like her fashionable clothes!
