Description

This print was published in Le Charivari (November 26, 1836) as plate 14 from the series Caricaturana.
A vertically oriented black-and-white print depicts a crowd of men with light skin tones. In the center, a man with a dark beard and open mouth holds up small books. To the right, another man carries a large pyramidal sign on his back. To the left, a wooden table holds conical objects. Sketchy lines and crosshatching create depth. Cursive French text lines the bottom, identifying the central figure as Robert Macaire.
