The image is an old illustration that appears to be a satirical commentary. It depicts a man and a woman standing on the left side, while in the background, there is a building with the words "BANQUE DE FRANCE" painted on it. The man is wearing a hat and a scarf, which suggests he might be from the 19th century. Behind them, several laborers are seen working near an arched stone bridge. One laborer is carrying a large basin on his head. At the bottom of the illustration, there is a caption in French that reads, "A PROPÓS DES NOUVELLES CAVES DE LA BANQUE DE FRANCE – C'est moi qui voudrais être sommelier dans cette maison là!". This translates to "ABOUT THE NEW CELLARS OF THE BANK OF FRANCE – It is I who would like to be a cellar master in this house there!" The caption and the imagery likely mockingly suggest the wealth stored in the bank's cellars and the desire for a lucrative job within such an establishment.

This image is a monochrome print that appears to depict a scene from a historical or satirical context. It features a few characters, including a gentleman in the foreground who is dressed in 19th-century attire, complete with a bowler hat and overcoat, looking over his shoulder towards the viewer. Behind him and to his left, there is a woman who seems to be glancing in the same direction as the man. In the background, there are a few other figures who are bent over and appear to be working on the ground in a space labeled "BANQUE DE FRANCE". The setting includes classical architectural elements, such as columns and archways, giving the impression of a cavernous, perhaps subterranean, environment. Shadows are cast by the arches on the ground, creating a contrast with the lit areas and reinforcing the cavernous feel. At the bottom of the image, there's a caption in French that reads: "A PROPOS DES NOUVELLES CAVES DE LA BANQUE DE FRANCE —C'est moi qui voudrais être sommelier dans cette maison là!" Translated into English, it says: "REGARDING THE NEW CELLARS OF THE BANK OF FRANCE —I would like to be the wine steward in that house!" This caption suggests that the image is making a humorous comment on the purported new cellars of the Bank of France, likening them to wine cellars and expressing a jesting desire to be the wine steward there. At the very bottom, there's also the signature "h.D." on the left side and the address of a publisher or printer "Imp. Veuve A. Cadart, 56, r. St. Lazare, 56" on the right side, along with some handwritten text that is partially legible, indicating the possible context or publication date of the print.

This is a historical French political cartoon from what appears to be the 19th century. The illustration shows workers constructing or excavating the vaults ("caves") of the Banque de France (French Bank), as indicated by the text on the wall. In the foreground, there's a tall figure wearing a hat and long coat observing the construction scene, while a woman in a full dress sits to the left. In the background, workers can be seen bent over their tasks. The caption at the bottom reads in French: "A PROPOS DES NOUVELLES CAVES DE LA BANQUE DE FRANCE" (About the new vaults of the Bank of France) followed by "C'est moi qui voudrais être sommelier dans cette maison là!" (I'm the one who would like to be the wine steward in that house!) The cartoon appears to be making a satirical comment about the wealth stored in the bank's vaults, comparing them to a wine cellar and suggesting that being in charge of such riches would be desirable. The art style is characteristic of 19th-century lithographic prints, with fine hatching and shading techniques.
