Descente dans les ateliers de la liberté de la presse / J.J. Grandv. et A. Dt. ; l. de Becquet, rue furstemberg 6.
Summary
Print shows on the left, King Louis-Philippe in a right side profile, whiskers obscuring his face, with his hand over the mouth of a female printer, representing freedom of the press, and showing on the far left, Comte d'Argout holding a large pair of scissors, the typical device identifying a censor. Other government officials, Jean-Charles Persil and André Dupin among them, attempt to overturn the press and confront other printers near a press in the background. Hanging from wires above are issues of "La Caricature" and "Droits de L'Homme".
