Bourgouin, a man impervious to cold water. Aquatint.
Title
Bourgouin, a man impervious to cold water. Aquatint.
Description

Bourgouin, a man impervious to cold water. Aquatint. Bourgouin ne a Paris en 1753

De braver les saison, serais tu scul capable?
Courage ami Bourgouin, subjugnes les Francais;
Il faudra qu'on t'imite (ou je me donne an diable)
Le Sceptre de la Mode est brise pour jamais.

On aurait peine a croire qu'il existat un homme insensible au froid excessif que nous eprouvons
cet hiver; cependant cet etre etonnant n'a pas manque an seul jour de se baigner dans la Seine
et nager te inquilement au milieu des glacons landis que le peuple qui pour le voir se porte en
(?)... aupres du Pont neuf pouvait a peine supporter l'extreme riguer de Fair(?)

Google translates:
To brave the season, would you be able to?
Courage ami Bourgouin, subjugate the French;
It will be necessary to imitate you (or I give myself a devil)
The Scepter of Fashion is broken for ever.

It would be hard to believe that there is a man insensitive to the excessive cold which we experience this winter; however
this amazing being did not miss the only day to bathe in the Seine
and swim with you in the middle of the ice cubes that the people who to see it
(?)... at the Pont Neuf could barely stand the extreme riguer of Fair(?)
