The image is a black and white lithograph from the "Actualités" series numbered 240. It depicts a man in a nightshirt and cap, bent awkwardly under his bed, looking with a wary expression into the space beneath the bed using a lit match for illumination. The background suggests a dark, shadowed environment, while the foreground is focused on the man's cautious search. The caption in French reads "S'assurant qu'il n'y a pas de fenians sous son lit," which translates to "Making sure there are no Fenians under his bed." This implies the man is paranoid or fearful of an intruder, specifically a Fenian, which historically refers to a member of an Irish nationalist organization in the 19th century. The artwork is signed with "A. de Vresse, R. Noil, 55" and "Lith. Destouches & Paradis 7 et 9" and includes a signature resembling "A.D."

The image depicts a black-and-white illustration framed by a white border, with text and numbering suggesting it is from a publication or series. At the top, the word "ACTUALITÉS" and the number "240" indicate this might be from a collection of topical or satirical sketches. The illustration itself shows a person lying face down on the floor, peering under a bed with a candle in one hand that illuminates the dark space underneath the bed. The character's exaggerated facial expression, along with the pointed hat, creates a humorous or possibly satirical tone. The caption below reads, "S'assurant qu'il n'y a pas de fénians sous son lit." This is French and translates to "Making sure that there are no Fenians under his bed." The term "Fenians" historically refers to members of the Fenian Brotherhood, a 19th-century Irish nationalist organization. This caption, combined with the visual elements, suggests the image is a political or social satire related to the fear of Fenians, potentially referencing a historical period of political unrest or public paranoia. The artist's signature is included in the illustration, but out of respect for personal details, the identity cannot be disclosed. In the context of the era (dated November 25, 1865, as given in the bottom left in French), such cartoons would have been used to comment on contemporary events or fears in a way that was accessible to a broad audience.

The image appears to be an old etching or print depicting a somber scene. It shows a person lying in a large bed or on a mattress, presumably dead or dying based on the prone position and the bed's disheveled appearance. Another figure is kneeling beside the bed, hunched over with their face buried near the lying figure, suggesting mourning or grief.

On the floor in the foreground, some scattered objects are visible that resemble papers or perhaps articles of clothing.

The image is a drawing by French artist Honoré Daumier, titled 'Assurance qu'il n'y a pas de fenians sous son lit' (Assurance that there are no Fenians under his bed). It is a satirical cartoon from 1865, created during a time of heightened tensions and fears in France due to the Fenian movement, which sought Irish independence from Britain. The cartoon depicts a man lying in bed, seemingly unaware of the danger lurking beneath him, symbolizing the complacency and ignorance of the French population towards the threat posed by the Fenians. Daumier's work often critiqued societal issues and political events, and this piece is a testament to his ability to convey complex themes through simple yet powerful imagery.
