iconographic description:
in relation to the article p. 990-991 and with the poster in addition to the number. The title phrase is pronounced by dubois, on the left, and persil, on the right, on the stage of the “théâtre des folies politiques” at the moment when the curtain decorated with pears, scales, bags of crowns, the cross of the legion of honor and pistols is about to fall. Louis-philippe, author of l'attentat horrible - the play we have just performed - hid in the prompter's hole, between two snitches, their whistles in their mouths. A crowd of actors stands in the background, while three national guards are on the left. This is certainly an interruption of the third scene of the play in which play persil, "an irreproachable magistrate", and dubois "an impartial judge" (in supplement). The pl. Is above all a parody of the investigations into the search for the culprit of the attack of november 19, 1832 on the person of the king. Most opposition newspapers, including la caricature, denounced this attack as being a plot put in place by the government itself. Adèle boury testified by claiming to have seen the assassin, then fainted from emotion. The opposition press saw in her one of the cogs in the stratagem mounted by the monarchy to make people believe in an attack. The pl. Denounces the dishonest means used by the king to regain popular favor. The satirical ministerial newspaper la charge had insinuated, in its number 6 (november 11, 1832) that the opposition press was pushing for regicide, eight days before the attack. But the opposition press refuses to take on this responsibility. According to erre, “the anti-government press accuses the government of artificially creating a climate of insecurity to justify its control of the country and muzzle the opposition. ” the pl. Aims to be an illustration of the play that the attack of november 19 inspired in la caricature. Person / character represented:
