The image appears to be a black-and-white caricature or illustration depicting a humorous interaction between two characters. It is titled "Les Alarmistes et les Alarmés," which translates to "The Alarmists and the Alarmed" in English. In the scene, an elderly woman is standing beside a bed, lifting a curtain or bed canopy. Her expression is serious, as if she is delivering an important message. Standing next to the bed, she seems to be addressing a man who is huddled under the bedcovers, looking very frightened. His eyes are wide open, and his expression shows surprise and fear, as if he's hiding from something terrible. The caption below the illustration is in French and reads: "- M'sieu, c'est une lettre de trois sous..... - Est il permis de frapper à une porte pour une lettre de trois sous......j'ai eu une frayeur!......j'ai cru qu'on venait me demander mes armes......." Translated to English, this means: "-Sir, it's a three-penny letter..... - Is it permissible to knock on a door for a three-penny letter......I was scared!......I thought they were coming to ask for my weapons......." The scene humorously exaggerates the reaction of the man to a seemingly mundane event, illustrating his excessive alarmed state. It is likely an example of satire, possibly reflecting social or political commentary relevant to the time it was created.

The image shows a vintage black and white illustration that appears to be from a book or a publication. It portrays a scene with two characters: 1. On the left side, there is a standing figure, presenting a letter or piece of paper to the other character. This figure is dressed in what appears to be period clothing, consistent with styles that might have been common in the 18th or 19th century, based on the attire's simplicity and cut. The character has a concerned or attentive expression on their face. 2. On the right side, there is a person poking their head out from under a canopy bed's covers, looking shocked or frightened. This character's eyes are wide open, and the mouth is agape, evoking a sense of surprise or alarm. Below the illustration, there's a dialogue snippet in French, showing an exchange between the characters, with the one in the bed reacting to being charged three sous for a letter, and comically mistaking the person delivering the letter for an assailant. There is a caption at the top that reads "LES ALARMISTES ET LES ALARMES," which translates to "The Alarmists and the Alarms." This caption could suggest the humor or moral of the illustration, possibly pointing to a commentary on people who are easily startled or who overreact to minor events. Below the image, on the left corner, is a signature that appears to be that of the artist, and on the right corner, there is another inscription which likely references the artist or the publication. The illustration has a date which reads "1846," providing a historical context for the style of art and clothing depicted.

This is a French political cartoon titled "Les Alarmistes et les Alarmés" (The Alarmists and the Alarmed). The image shows a humorous scene with two figures: a maid or servant in a long dress delivering a letter, and a frightened person hiding in what appears to be a curtained bed or alcove. The text below indicates a dialogue where the servant announces "Sir, it's a letter for three sous (cents)" and the frightened person replies "Is it permitted to knock at a door for a letter of three sous... I got such a fright!... I thought someone was coming to demand my weapons..." The artwork appears to be a lithograph or similar print technique, likely from the 19th century, and seems to be satirizing political paranoia or fear-mongering of the time.

The image depicts a cartoon-style drawing of a woman in a bed, looking distressed or frightened as she speaks to an alarmed man who is peering out from under the bed covers. The woman's speech is written below the image in French, stating something about allowing the man to knock on the door for a letter worth "trois sous" (three pennies), but having a fright or fear. The drawing has shading and lines to give it a sense of depth and drama, capturing an anxious moment between the two people in the bedroom setting.

The image depicts a dramatic scene involving two figures. One figure is standing upright, wearing flowing robes, and appears to be delivering a letter or message to the other figure, who is seated on a bed or couch with a look of alarm or distress on their face. The setting suggests a bedroom or private chamber, with ornate curtains and decorative elements in the background. The overall tone of the image is one of tension and unease, with the standing figure potentially delivering unsettling news or a request to the seated figure.

The image depicts a scene from the French Revolution, specifically the Reign of Terror. It shows a woman, likely a revolutionary, standing over a man who is lying in bed, possibly a victim of the Terror. The woman is pointing at the man, and her expression suggests that she is accusing him of being a counter-revolutionary or a traitor. The man looks frightened and helpless, and his body language conveys a sense of fear and vulnerability. The image is titled "Les Alarmistes et les Alarmes" (The Alarmists and the Alarms), which suggests that the woman is one of the "alarmists" who are sounding the alarm about potential threats to the Revolution, while the man is one of the "alarms" or targets of their accusations. The image implies that the woman is using her power and influence to accuse the man of being a counter-revolutionary, and that he is being punished or persecuted as a result. Overall, the image suggests that the Reign of Terror was a time of great fear and paranoia, during which people were accused of being counter-revolutionaries or traitors and punished or executed as a result. It also highlights the role of women in the Revolution, particularly in the early stages, when they played a significant part in the movement and its leadership.

The image is a vintage illustration of an elderly woman sitting on the edge of a bed, holding a letter and looking at a man who is lying in the bed. The woman is wearing a long dress and has her hair pulled back. She is holding a letter in her right hand and pointing to it with her left hand. The man in the bed is wearing dark clothing and has his head resting on his right arm. He appears to be looking at the woman with a mixture of surprise and concern. The background of the image is a simple room with a bed, a chair, and a table. The walls are plain, and there are no windows or other features visible. The overall atmosphere of the image is one of quiet contemplation, with the woman and the man engaged in a private conversation. The title of the image is "LES ALARMISTES ET LES ALARMES," which translates to "The Alarmists and the Alarms." This suggests that the image may be related to a story or poem about people who are prone to exaggeration or alarmism, and the consequences of their actions.
