Description

This print was published in Le Charivari (April 26, 1851) as plate 120 from the series News of the Day
A horizontally oriented lithograph in shades of gray depicts six caricatured men submerged to their necks in water. The figures have furrowed brows and varied facial hair, facing in different directions. In the foreground, three portfolios labeled "Justice" and "Interieur" on our left, and "Affaires Etrangeres" on our right, float in choppy ripples. Behind, a neoclassical building with columns and a pediment sits on the distant shore.
