The image is an illustration titled "Physionomies de bourse," which translates to "Stock Market Faces," from an old publication dated around the mid-19th century. The artwork appears to be a satirical depiction of people's reactions to the stock market's fluctuations, drawn in black and white with a sketch-like quality. In the foreground, there are two men in formal attire typical of the 19th century, complete with top hats and long coats. The man on the left looks despondent, hunched over with a sorrowful expression on his face, clutching his hands together. This likely represents someone who has lost money in the stock market. In contrast, the man on the right is walking away confidently with a smug expression, hands in his pockets, suggesting he has benefited from the market's rise. The background is stylized with sketched trees and outlines of other people, possibly indicating a public or park setting. The title at the bottom includes the phrase "L'enfoncement du baissier et le triomphe du haussier... ou gens qui pleurent et gens qui rient," which translates to "The collapse of the bear and the triumph of the bull... or people who cry and people who laugh," reinforcing the theme of mixed reactions to stock market outcomes. Overall, the image captures the contrast between despair and joy that investors experience in response to stock market changes.

This is an image of a lithograph print, which appears to be from an issue of a publication or a book, given the text and pagination shown. The illustration features two men in 19th-century attire, both wearing top hats. The man on the left is hunched over, clutching what appears to be a bag or sack close to his chest. He looks distressed or possibly secretive. The man on the right is walking away with his hands behind his back, seemingly unfazed, perhaps even content or proud. At the top, there's a header that reads "ACTUALITÉS" followed by the number 440. Below the illustration, there is a caption in French that reads: "PHYSIONOMIES DE BOURSE. L'enfoncement du baissier et le triomphe du haussier, - où gens qui pleurent et gens qui rient." This translates to something along the lines of "Stock Exchange Physiognomies. The downfall of the bear and the triumph of the bull, - where there are people who cry and people who laugh." These terms suggest that the illustration is a satirical or metaphorical representation of the stock market, with the "bear" (a term for someone who believes prices will fall) being the distressed man, and the "bull" (someone who believes prices will rise) being the other, more composed man. The illustration has a signature on the bottom left that is partially legible and a number "928" to its right. The bottom of the print includes additional text, likely publication information, and a date 13 March with the year partially visible, ending with "7." There are numbers and a catalogue mark ("E. 24788") on the bottom right corner, suggesting that this print is part of a collection or archive.
