Description
71st figure.
Subject. Edmond, unable to bear the thought of being with his friends after his infamy, flees as soon as he is pardoned. Arriving in Provence, he enters the home of a peasant who gives him food, and falls asleep in the garden, where a snake bites him on the arm. We see Edmond with his left hand swollen, a stick in his other hand, chasing the snake: a little boy brings his father and mother to help the stranger.
Edmond, returning from the galleys, is bitten on the hand by a snake.
