Evidence: | '3rd March 1929.
At Montmartre. I promised to conduct the latest pensionnaires over Montmartre when they first arrived. Foreigners are always in a hurry to see Montmartre. So today we went up to the Place Pigalle and examined the boulevard exteriors from the ?Abbaie? to Weppler?s. Afterwards up the rue Lepic, where I related what I know of the street?s gruesome past, by the Moulin de la Galette to the Place du Tertre. From the front of the Sacr? Coeur we endeavoured to see something of the famous view but there was too much mist. We laughed at the notice to motorists ?Ralentissez; attention aux Petits Poulbots?. (Slow down, watch out for the Petit Poulbots). [Francisque Poulbot is one of the most famous French illustrators, especially illustrators of children. Poulbot is particularly known for his drawings of Paris street urchins. Poulbot loved to draw these children as shameless, and often malicious jokesters. Most of his work was published in the 1900s-30s]
