Iconographic description:
the press is symbolized by a printing press itself. This must bear, literally and figuratively, the weight of the various obstacles which hinder its freedom (see text in the image, weight labels: stamps, fines, bonds, trials, seizures. . . With reference to specific cases affecting newspapers of the time). Image illustrating the irony of the title which confronts the sentence that louis-philippe uttered in 1830 at the time of his accession to the throne "the charter will henceforth be a truth", and a certain censorship that the july government imposed on the press in reality.
