"As intensely as he lives, however great the ardor with which Gustave Coquiot gives himself to the pleasures of art, literature and celebration, he finds time to formulate his various emotions in delicious pages. His passionate walks in Paris brought us several series of prose poems, alert, colorful, picturesque, to which artists attach great importance, extremely rare volumes that must be read today for the artistic treat they provide, that will have to be read later to reconstruct the atmosphere, the fevers, the tremors, the lasciviousness of present-day Paris . "[Georges Lecomte, 1903].
François-Rupert Carabin, famous sculptor and friend of Gustave Coquiot, art critic, illustrated the cover of a drawing.
"The author offers here a wandering in public balls, along the Seine, in concert cafes (those frequented by Toulouse-Lautrec and Degas), the gardens and the walks of a working-class and popular Paris where he finds the Seurat of 'Sunday at La Grande Jatte'.
