in a cellar, the members of the government (can we recognize lobau?), the count of argout, sébastiani, casimir périer perched on the press, schonen, dupin, talleyrand have placed the people in a press and operate the bar, the latter in order to withdraw money, which then travels through a pipe and arrives in the coffers of baron louis. Louis-philippe in the back right takes with him a bag of gold coins just filled. This is a misappropriation of the official sentence of the moniteur. The pl. Proposes to provide an illustration of the way in which the government intends to find financial resources: by taxing the people. Likewise, the nature of financial needs is denounced, since, according to the register placed on the ground on the left, the money taken from the people serves the personal interests of members of the government, serves to create sinecures and to multiply the means of repression. Person / character depicted:
cruciani, françois; louis-philippe i, king of the french; schonen, auguste jean marie de, baron; dupin, andré marie jean-jacques (known as dupin elder); sebastiani, horace; argout, antoine maurice apollinaire d', baron; périer, casimir
