It is in quite a state, your cloak! - it's this devil of "Le National" who got it into that state.. Charivari
Description:
The print shows Talleyrand and the King, whose coat (integrity) shows stains and several holes, symbolic of graft and corruption. Soon the paper "Le National", edited by Armand Carrel, was identified as the perpetrator and accused of lèse majesté.
