République Franc̨aise - A drawing of a man standing in front of a group of people

Print shows a large female figure labeled "Republique Française" standing at center with her right arm around the shoulder of a man labeled "Suffrage Universel" and her left hand resting on a document labeled "Constitution". On the left are a group of men labeled "D'Orleans" with a man, possibly Patrice de MacMahon, holding a banner that states "Pas de Réformes la Force Prime le Droit". Attending the group is a figure labeled "Anarchie", another carries a large club. At center stands Napoleon III, labeled "Bonapartistes", wearing a suit of armor and holding a large lance, a man kneeling on the ground next to him, adjusts his leggings. On the right are the "Bourbons", a ragged group of old men and furies; one man carries a shield labeled "Par le Droit Divin", another drags a hammer that is too heavy for him to lift.
