This print shows a mid-1800s French scene made for a satirical magazine. It’s a colored engraving by C. J. Travies from the 1830s. The title pokes fun at politicians trying to please everyone. The image appeared in La Caricature, a French periodical that loved political jokes. The museum calls it “Le juste milieu se crotte.” Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
