About this work

This drawing shows three men in fancy uniforms pulling a giant, upside-down sack. The sack has a newspaper labeled "Charte 1830" and a top hat floating above it. The men are holding ropes with words like "Prussia" and "Alliance" written on them. The sack looks like a country being dragged around. The newspaper inside might be a hint about politics at the time. Next, check out how this was made using lithography.
