Charles Maurand's *At the Universal Exhibition: The producer of felt hats. Here you can see a live rabbit, which I will dump into the machine like that…..* is a satirical etching that likely comments on the technological advancements displayed at the Universal Exhibition in Paris. The artwork depicts a man holding a rabbit above a machine, highlighting the absurdity of industrialization and its potential impact on animals. The artwork's dark humor and sharp social commentary showcase Maurand's keen observation of his time. *At the Universal Exhibition* is a compelling example of 19th-century French graphic art.
