Description

This print was published in Le Charivari (March 10, 1869) as plate 41 from the series News of the Day.
A vertically oriented print in black ink on aged paper depicts a central figure with spindly legs whose upper body is a massive open book. Small hands clutch the book's edges. The left page reads "LE DIX NEUF JANVIER MEMOIRE JUSTIFICATIF." In the background, a crowd of smaller figures run in opposite directions. Heavy hatching provides deep shading. French text appears in the top and bottom margins.
