This image is a caricature-style illustration by Cham, featuring two figures engaged in conversation. The figure on the left is dressed in tattered clothing and boots, holding an umbrella, and wearing a distinct hat. The figure on the right is dressed elaborately as a military officer with exaggerated, colorful attire including plumed headgear, a sword, and white trousers with yellow embellishments. The scene appears to be humorous or satirical, as is typical of Cham’s work, and it includes a caption beneath the illustration. The caption reads, "Robert-Toussaint-Macaire - Louverture," with dialogue expressing surprise and a mock conversation about political history and identity.

The image is of a caricature-style illustration showing two figures from a historical context engaging in conversation. The figure on the right, adorned in a detailed, opulent military uniform, complete with decorative sash, epaulettes, and a tricorne hat adorned with a feather, appears to be an officer or someone of high rank. They are also carrying a sword. The figure on the left is dressed in a more subdued fashion, with a long coat, breeches, and tall boots, holding what looks like an umbrella or walking stick. Both figures are standing on a background that suggests a street or open space.

Below the illustration, there is text in French, indicating a dialogue between the characters, along with the title "ROBERT-TOUSSAINT-MACAIRRE-LOUVERTURE." The artist's signature "CHAM" and the year '52 are noted on the bottom right. There's also printed text that seems to be referencing a publisher or printer at the bottom left. The top of the illustration features the word "ACTUALITÉS" and the number "103," suggesting that this piece is part of a series or publication. The style and content of the image imply a satirical or political commentary typical of the periodical press in the 19th century.

The drawing style is characteristic of the period's satirical illustrations, with exaggerated features and dramatic poses. The artist's signature appears to be "CHAM."

I've put a light coat of varnish on my political antecedents... hit the policeman!"

Overall, the image appears to be a satirical commentary on politics and power, with the two men representing different factions or ideologies.

This is a satirical cartoon titled "ROBERT-TOUSSAINT-MACAIRE-LOUVERTURE" from a publication called "ACTUALITÉS." It features two figures in a detailed and exaggerated style characteristic of satirical cartoons.

Description of the Figures:

• Left Figure: A thin, frail-looking man in tattered clothing and a tall, drooping hat. He is holding a closed umbrella. He has a pointed nose and a worried expression. A small blue bag is visible on his back.
• Right Figure: A more imposing figure, dressed in an ornate uniform with a large hat topped with pink plumes and with the face obscured by a black mask. This figure is very flamboyant and appears to be boasting. They are holding a sword.

Dialogue and Context:

The caption in the bottom reads:
"-Oui, c'est moi!... comment tu ne me reconnaissais pas mon vieux Bertrand!... J'ai passe une légère couche de cirage sur mes antécédents politiques... enfonce le gendarme!..."

This translates to:
"Yes, it's me! ... how did you not recognize my old Bertrand!... I've applied a light coat of polish to my political history ... and stuck the policeman!..."

Overall Interpretation:

The cartoon likely satirizes a political or social figure. The exaggerated features and the dialogue suggest the figure on the right, with the mask and the new attire, represents someone who has changed his appearance and perhaps his allegiances, likely trying to erase his past (the old Bertrand) and gain acceptance within a different political environment. The figure on the left seems to recognize the person despite the changes, implying the past cannot be fully hidden. The "light coat of polish" refers to a superficial attempt to hide past actions and history. The phrase "stuck the policeman" means to put somebody in a difficult situation (e.g. a trap)

The presence of the artist's signature "CHAM" confirms this is likely a work by Amédée de Noé, a known cartoonist.
