The image depicts an illustration with a caption that reads in French "MANIÈRE CHINOISE DE NETTOYER LES RUES ET DE SALIR LES PASSANS." This translates to "Chinese way of cleaning the streets and soiling the passers-by." The scene is set within an architectural background that suggests a Chinese setting, with the presence of traditional-style buildings. There are several figures in the image, drawn in a style suggestive of 19th-century European caricature or satire. In the foreground, a person is sweeping the street with a large, rather ineffective-looking broom, kicking up a lot of dust and debris in the process. Another individual, to the right of the sweeper, appears to be shielding their face from the dust, with a displeased or shocked expression. To the left, we can see a group of individuals who appear to be reacting to the scene; one seems to be speaking or yelling, possibly complaining about the dirt being stirred up by the street cleaner. The style and contents of the image suggest that it may be a satirical or critical commentary on cleanliness practices observed by the illustrator during travels or derived from reports of the time. It is worth noting that historical illustrations like these often contain stereotypes and exaggerations and may not be accurate representations of the cultures depicted.

The image is titled "Maniere Chinoise" and is part of a series of cartoons that Grandville created to satirize the French government and society during the July Monarchy (1830-1848).

The title "Maniere Chinoise" translates to "Chinese Manner," and the cartoon shows a group of Chinese men engaged in various activities such as sweeping the streets, carrying heavy loads, and performing other menial tasks. The cartoon is meant to be humorous and ironic, as it exaggerates the stereotype that Chinese people are lazy and only work as servants or laborers.

Overall, "Maniere Chinoise" is a satirical cartoon that uses humor to comment on the social and economic issues of its time, while also perpetuating negative stereotypes about Chinese people.
