Text below title reads, "C’est tout de meme flatteur d’avoir fait tant d’eleves!….Mais c’est embetant, y en a de trop, la concurrence tue le commerce et pour peu que ca continue nous serons debordes, nous deviendrons perruques, rococos, nous creverons de faim, faudra nous faire gendarmes ou capucins……" <br><br> Translation - "It's flattering in any case to have educated so many disciples!... But it's very vexing, they're too many, competition kills the market and if it continues much longer we shall be overrun, we'll become old fogies, antiquated, we'll starve to death. We'd have to become policemen or friars."
