Au revoir, Oph?lia!.., 1844. 'Au revoir, Oph?lia!...ne manquez pas de venir mardi soir...c'est une reunion litt?raire en petit comit?...nous lirons des ?l?gies et nous ferons du bischoff!'. Woman to her friend: 'Goodbye, Ophelia!...don't forget to come on Tuesday evening...it'll be a literary meeting in small groups...we will read elegies and we will make bischoff!'. Satirical criticism of 'bluestockings': women with interests beyond housework and childcare. Such women were often depicted as mannish and ugly - the implication being that their intellectual output was just as objectionable as their looks. Series: Les Bas-bleus, no. 4; Periodical: Le Charivari, 10 February 1844.
