About
Plate 136 published in 'La Caricature', no 67, 9 February 1832.
A group of politicians crawls at the foot of a throne upon which are portfolios and privileges while in the foreground, some men greedily seize coins and titles. The print shows the submissiveness of the political opportunists and their interdependence with the system.
