This is an image of a lithograph depicting a comical scene involving one man operating a large mechanical press. The press has exaggerated features, with large cylindrical parts and a press plate that the man is pushing down onto a piece of paper. He has a determined look on his face and is wearing a white shirt, dark pants, and a chef's hat, which might indicate that his usual profession is that of a cook or baker. On the press are two labeled bottles, one possibly reading "Appareil pneumatique" (pneumatic device) and the other is illegible.

There's a caption at the bottom in French that reads, "Il va nous la poster à la presse!!" which can be translated as "He's going to press it for us!!", suggesting humor related to the printing or dispatching of something with great urgency or force. At the corners of the image are printed text and numbers, indicating that this illustration is likely from a publication, specifically the 152nd edition of a caricature journal. The signature of the artist and the mention of a printing company or printer's mark suggest that this lithograph was made by a known artist and distributed or published professionally.

You want to rub against the press!” implying a humorous or perhaps critical take on the scenario. The illustration seems to comment upon the struggles and perhaps the adversarial relationship between those who operate the press and those who are subjected to it.
