Le Carnaval de 1814, ou Le marcaroni Impérial
Summary
Cartoon shows Napoleon and Cambacérès as a harlequin and punch, respectively; between them is a table on which is a map of Europe. Cambacérès ladles out a macaroni soup comprised of the unpopular actions and events of Napoleon's reign. Napoleon, standing on a chair, gestures to Cambacérès and offers him money. Standing behind Napoleon, an injured war veteran, with one leg and a crutch, smokes a pipe and condemns their actions.
