Caricature. You misguided sheep, return to the fold!
Description:
The Archbishop of Paris is blessing Thiers, Persil and others who are humbly kneeling at his feet. This is a charge against the church for sanctioning the ministry that passed the September Laws. The laws gave Thiers the possibility to openly act against republicans, legitimists, and all other sectaries of the opposition. Soon Thiers would replace De Broglie as president of the council.
