The image is a black and white print or drawing depicting a figure bending forward with one hand on their hip and the other resting on an object that is not clearly visible. The figure appears to be standing on a row of snails, which are underneath the word "PROGRES" (French for "progress"), implying a satirical take on the slow pace of progress. The page is labeled "ACTUALITÉS" at the top and includes the number 211, suggesting this is part of a series or publication. Below the illustration is a caption in French that reads "Les Escargots non sympathiques," which translates to "The Unsympathetic Snails." There is handwriting on the page, including numbers and letters that could be related to cataloging or referencing within a collection. The artist's name, written in the lower left corner next to a small drawing, is partially visible as "h. Daumier." This may indicate that the work was created by the French artist Honoré Daumier, known for his social and political commentary through art. The date noted near the handwritten text appears to be 1839.

The image is a vintage illustration of a man standing on a line of snails, with the words "PROGRES" written below him. The man is dressed in a long coat and hat, and appears to be looking down at the snails with a mixture of disdain and frustration. The snails are arranged in a row, with each one bearing a letter that spells out the word "PROGRES". The background of the image is a muted beige color, with a subtle texture that suggests it may be a page from an old book or magazine. The overall effect of the image is one of irony and satire, as the man's apparent frustration with the slow progress of the snails is juxtaposed with the fact that he is himself standing still, unable to move forward. The use of the word "PROGRES" to spell out the snails' slow movement adds to the sense of irony, highlighting the contrast between the idea of progress and the reality of stagnation.
