BLIND SYSTEM AND PARALYTIC DIPLOMACY. --- ....it is believed that the legs of the blind system are not very solid, nor the eyes of the very paralytic nearsighted diplomacy.. Charivari
Description:
This print reverts to the fable by La Fontaine: "l'Aveugle et le paralytique", depicting Talleyrand and Louis-Philippe. The blind King carries the paralytic Talleyrand on a rather bumpy road, approaching disaster in front of them without being able to avoid it.The king can be seen in the role of Saint Christopherus.
