At lower right: P.F. Courtois Sculp.
At bottom center: La Promenade des Remparts de Paris.
At lower left:
Que j'aime à contempler sur ces Remparts charmans
Le caprice du soir et les Hommes du tems.
J'y vois au fond d'un Char la stupide Opulence
À peine d'un regard honorer l'Indigence.
J'y vois le financier trancher du Monseigneur,
La coquette aux yeux faux, la prude au ris mocqueur:
[continued at lower right]
At lower right:
Sur un coursier fougueux paroît l'étourderie:
Tout auprès marche à pied le Sage qu'on oublie.
Ces différens objects dissipent mon ennui:
Suivons-les; mais de loin, c'est la mode aujourd'hui:
Elle fut de tout tems: à l'aimer tout m' engage;
Qui l'introduit est fou, qui la fuit n'est pas Sage. P.F. Courtois

At bottom center: A Paris, chés la V.e de F. Chereau, / rue St. Jacques aux deux Piliers d'Or. / C.P.R.
