Monthly lithography, on the theme of agricultural work to the rhythm of the four seasons. Members of the government are busy harvesting. The grapes are replaced by sheets of paper or bags on which inscriptions indicating their contents can be read. In the foreground, from left to right: barthe on the far left, is behind argout who is harvesting “pots de vins // canals [?]” from a vine. Below, a purse with an amount written (“10000”). Further down on the foot hang the “games // fine arts”, and a “1000 franc” note. Persil in magistrate’s dress collects “fines” and “amendes”. Next to him, seen from behind, “fanfan” (in explanation. It is the duke of orléans) leans over to lift the bucket of “million” collected by this harvest. Just behind stands lobau, dressed as a grape picker, holding the bucket of his harvest on his head (the bucket contains the “traitem […] [treatments] // 50,000f. ” a little further on, dupin looks at louis-philippe busy at a vine to which is attached a bag containing the amount of the “liste // civile // 1000000”. In the foreground to the right, from right to left, three men clinging to each other to the others by a rope, crawling on their knees, are busy picking up what is on the ground: the first picks up coins and “secret // funds”. The second, who seems to be a personification of the newspaper le figaro, is next to “subsidy”, while the first, dressed in a checkered suit and wearing a hat decorated with the tricolor cockade, detaches a note from the “pairie” from a vine (the two unidentified characters must certainly also be incarnations). Newspapers). In the background, from left to right: madier de montjau standing with his back, carrying a bucket in each hand. Three other unidentified men. Finally, to the right, men are busy pouring the products of the harvest into the large barrel of the “ministe […] [ministry] of // of // finances”. We can notably identify soult holding the “maréchalat” harvest basket. Guizot pours his basket of gold coins into the vat, while baron louis stands behind. Thiers, finally, climbs onto the ox responsible for transporting the large vat. The ox is the personification of the people (is inscribed on the yoke “good people”). The pl.
