Description

This print was published in Le Charivari (October 5, 1850) as plate 3 from the series News of the Day.
A vertically oriented lithograph depicts a man with light skin tone standing in profile with arms crossed. He wears a patterned robe, a dark cap, and a thick bandage wrapped around his jaw. In the background, another bandaged figure with light skin tone leans over a balcony railing. Printed French text frames the top and bottom of the composition, which is rendered in loose, expressive black sketches.
