iconographic description:
“the “caricature” and the “charivari”, like the real rascals that they are, and respecting neither age nor sex, absolutely want to blow up a respectable father of a family, his son, who is unique, and the venerable constitutionnel, fortunately also unique” (in explanation, p. 1796). The "caricature" personified by a madman, pulls louis-philippe by the pants from behind, followed by the "charivari", in the appearance of a madman with a horn on his belt and a hat with a feather and bells on his head, who drags away the duke of orléans by force. Remaining behind, the character of the "constitutional" wears a night cap and a vest decorated with pears and wipes his forehead with his handkerchief. On a platform, a draped woman carrying a crown of towers on her head (which seems to designate her as the allegory of a city), plays the violin. The board refers to the world of the parisian carnival (it is also published at this time of the year), a period of cross-dressing, license and wild dancing. Person / character depicted:
orléans, ferdinand-philippe d', duke; louis-philippe i, king of the french
