Translation of the text above the drawing : "Drawing of the monster that afflicts Gevaudan. This beast is the size of a young bull. It prefers to attack women and children. It drinks their blood, cuts their head off, and carries them away. 2700 francs are promised to who kills this animal."
This engraving is supposed to be ante January 1765, when King Louis XV promised a reward of 6,000 livres tournois (the french currency of the time) to who will kill the beast, bringing the total rewards to 9000 livres tournois.
