This account in the drolatic form of lampoon force a little the feature on a supposed character to represent the man of the Monarchy of July. It is suractif, it allures, it is effective, as this modern society about which Balzac is often ironical, of which it deplores the frantic materialism, and who produces to produce without knowing the goal of his agitation. Gaudissart knows all, went everywhere, knows all, but it does not include/understand anything.
Balzac makes a success of here with the writing what Daumier obtained by the drawing: a caricature of a character able to sell anything, but which is confronted with more malignant than him and which, by sell wind, will end up buying itself of it. An old vine grower tourangeau will succeed in selling wine to him which it does not produce for a long time any more.
