Légende

J. Alexandre Bixio, 1849. Plus désintéressé encore que les grands hommes de Plutarque, Bixio n'a consenti à passer qu'une semaine dans le palais du Ministère du commerce, - le huitième jour, ce nouveau Cincinnatus est retourné arroser ses laitues Romaines. (Being even more altruistic than all the great men of Plutarch, Bixio only agreed to spend a week in the Office of the Ministry of Trade, - on the eighth day, this new Cincinnatus went back to watering his Romaine lettuces). On the ground lies a book with the words: Par Bixio - Almanach du Patait [sic] Jardinier, (By Bixio - Almanac of the Little Gardener). Caricature of Jacques Alexandre Bixio (1808-1865), French-Italian agronomist and politician.
