iconographic description:
the table of contents of the 4th vol. By la caricature adds clarification to the title: “gare les quiilles. (liberty knocks them down, talleyrand puts them back in place. )”. Liberty on the left, wearing the phrygian cap, is about to throw a ball in a game of bowling. The skittles are in reality figurines representing certain european princes: ferdinand, william 1st king of the netherlands, léopold 1st king of the belgians, louis-philippe (from behind, in the center), the duke of orléans, francis 1st emperor of austria. . . Talleyrand, french ambassador to the united kingdom, seen from behind in the foreground, is working to put one of the skittles back in place (don miguel, king of portugal). The pl. Uses a metaphor to show that the republic is trying to impose itself in several european countries and seeks to overthrow the monarchs. But talleyrand ensures that this does not happen (especially in the civil war in portugal). Person / character represented:
cruciani, françois; louis-philippe i, king of the french
