‘N?2/LE COMTE DE PARIS – VOICI LE POIGNARD, IL N’Y A PLUS QU’A FAIRE LE COUP./THIERS – COMBIEN QU’TU DONNES ?’

– A political satire from La Betise Humaine, depicting Adolphe Thiers and the Count of Paris in a satirical exchange. The Count of Paris, shown kneeling, presents a dagger on a cushion to Thiers, who, with a sly expression, appears to bargain over its price. The print critiques Thiers’ political maneuvering and the Count’s ambitions for the French throne. The exaggerated facial features and postures add to the humor and biting commentary of the piece.
