Item Information

Title:
GRANDE ET TERRIBLE CROISADE ENTREPRISE PAR LES BURGRAVES CONTRE LES JOURNALISTES.
Title (alt.):
GREAT AND TERRIBLE CRUSADE OF THE BURGRAVES AGAINST THE JOURNALISTS.. Charivari
Description:
The print refers to the new Press Laws, called “Loi Tinguy” of July 16, 1850. The political Right is represented by the so-called "Burgraves", while the liberal press is trying to defend freedom of press with various kinds of different instruments. We see the "Charivari" chasing Dupin with a drawing pen, while Véron prefers a clyster as weapon. "La Presse" is represented by Emile de Girardin and "Le Siècle" by Perré, while the "National" is playing with an inkstand, waiting for the magistrate's attack by injunction. Baroche and Bineau have already managed to wrestle some of the participants to the ground, while Thiers, as usual remains in the background, standing on a hill like a commander-in-chief, watching the developments in front of him.
