Il faut faire 3 choses - A drawing of three men standing next to each other

Print shows figures of the estates general; a member of the clergy and a nobleman each place a hand on short pillar labeled "Je tien mon pied de bœuf"; a peasant, representing the third estate, places both of his hands on top of the others, holding them in place by exerting pressure on them.

Caption continues: La 1ere. est d'être fidelle à la nation et au roi - La 2ieme. est d'aimer son prochain plus que l'argent - Et la 3ieme. est de ne pas faire aux autres ce que l'on ne voudroit pas que l'on nous fit.
