"There are men who walk around begging on fertile ground" is a lithograph from J.J. Grandville's *Scenes from the Private and Public Life of Animals*, a collection of satirical illustrations published between 1832 and 1852. This particular print depicts a man, wearing a tattered cloak and a top hat, walking with a stick, illustrating the artist's penchant for social commentary and blending the human and animal worlds. The print is characteristic of Grandville's style, known for its witty and often grotesque portrayals of the human condition.
