a carriage is launched at high speed and heads straight into a chasm. Casimir périer, mounted on one of the two horses, shakes his whip. Behind, in the carriage, are gathered the ministers (among whom we recognize lobau, abbé louis, dupin?) and louis-philippe. Sébastiani holds the tricolor flag, while the others brandish their whips.
