Here's a description of the image:

This is a black and white caricature illustration titled "Souvenirs de Garnison," with the number 26 in the top right corner. It features two men in different styles of military attire, engaged in conversation, with a group of uniformed figures in the background.

The man on the left is dressed in what appears to be an older-style military coat with large buttons, white trousers, and soft, boot-like shoes. He has a walking stick and is wearing a unique tall hat with a flap at the back. He's gesticulating with his right hand as if he's in the middle of speaking.

The man on the right is in a more modern-looking military uniform, complete with a jacket, belt, trousers, and a tall hat with a decorative element on top. He's also wearing what appears to be sandals and smoking a pipe. His pose is more erect, and he looks directly at the first man.

The background features a line of uniformed figures, who are less detailed and appear more ghost-like, suggesting they are in the distance or perhaps representing the past. To the right of the uniformed man, there are some barely sketched pikes.

At the bottom of the image, there is text that seems to be part of the caption, reading "EN V'LA DES INVENTIONS. - Vous n'aviez pas de ça, dans votre temps? Ah! ben oui!...des bretelles c'aurait été du luxe pour une armée sans-culottes!..."

In the bottom left corner, there's also text that reads "Chez Aubert, Pl. de la Bourse, 29" and the signature "CHAM". In the bottom right corner, there's the text "Imp. d'Aubert & Cie".
