iconographic description:
on the road to spain, "tartariscof", the personification of russia, with a spear in his hand, two pistols crossed on his stomach and accompanied by a two-headed eagle, blocks the way for a troop of individuals. In the lead, louis-philippe negotiated to obtain passage and tried to pass them off as "walkers, strollers, picturesque travelers". These so-called walkers hide weapons, swords and guns, behind their backs. Behind louis-philipe appears general bugeaud, who has more "the appearance of a transnonist than of an artist", according to the expression of the explanation of the plate in reference to the massacre of the rue transnonain. Behind them come “foreigners” (unidentified): france intervened in spain as part of the triple alliance linking it to england, portugal and spain. At the back of the procession, a horse-drawn cannon is hidden under a hood and a helmet, which gives it the vague appearance of a man. Grandville's drawing is part of the series of plates devoted to the war of the spanish succession and the role of france in this affair. It is the pusillanimity of louis-philippe in the face of russia which supports the carlist insurrection which is the object of the criticism here: "the right middle is not the man to force the order". Person / character depicted:
louis-philippe i, king of the french; bugeaud, thomas-robert; louis-philippe i, king of the french
