Novel written by Sibylle-Gabrielle-Marie-Antoinette de Riquetti de Mirabeau, Countess of Martel de Janville, known as: Gyp. This drawing was published in Le Rire No. 290 on May 26, 1900, with the title: "Madame de Latude (Gyp) (or thirty-five minutes of captivity)." According to her police statement, Gyp was allegedly kidnapped on Friday, May 11, 1900, around 9 p.m., on Rue d'Alésia and taken to a castle near a railroad bridge, at an altitude of 500 meters. She was found limping on Saturday around 3 a.m. in Paris, on the Pont de Bercy, with her clothes in disarray. Unable to verify her claims, the police concluded it was a hallucination. The journalist from Le Rire compares the event to that of Monsieur Latude, who became famous for 35 years of captivity in the castles of Vincennes, the Bastille, and Bicêtre for attempting to clumsily approach the Marquise de Pompadour.
