Etchings by a guy with a long name

Click any image to enlarge

These are a series of etchings of various 18th Century vendors and workers by Anne Claude de Tubières-Grimoard de Pestels de Lévis, comte de Caylus, marquis d'Esternay, baron de Bransac. Apparently he was bit of a rake in his life, associating with some colorful, albeit a bit dubious, characters. 

These images are from The Met's collection. There are more there, and more after the jump.
