The image is a political cartoon titled "Actualités" and labeled as number 229, created by lithographer G. Doré and printed by R. Penel. It features two characters: one is a skeletal, decrepit figure—symbolizing an outdated or moribund force—represented as an elderly woman wearing tattered clothes, and the other is a commanding, determined figure of an old man carrying a scythe, possibly symbolizing Father Time or a force of inevitable progress.

The elderly woman is clutching at the old man's garment in a futile attempt to stop him or slow him down. The man's stance and expression suggest that he is unyielding and will continue forward regardless of her efforts. At their feet lie crushed and discarded papers with the words "ULTRAMONT," "ATUALON," and "GAZETTE" written on them, indicating they are symbols of old, reactionary press or ideas being left behind.

The caption beneath the illustration reads: "Vous aurez beau faire, ma pauvre presse ultramontaine, vous ne m'empêcherez pas de marcher," which translates to "Try as you might, my poor ultramontane press, you won't stop me from moving forward." This suggests the cartoon is commenting on the futility of resisting progress or change, specifically criticizing conservative or reactionary forces depicted by the ultramontane press of the time.

This image appears to be a vintage print or illustration, likely from a newspaper or publication from the style and presentation. It depicts two caricatured figures: one is an elderly, skeletal figure, wielding a large scythe, representative of the Grim Reaper, a common personification of death. The other figure is a woman, trying to resist the Reaper's advance by pulling back as the Reaper reaches out to her.

There is text at the bottom of the illustration, which is in French, and it reads: "Vous aurez beau faire, ma pauvre presse ultramontaine; vous ne m'empêcherez pas de marcher." This translates roughly to "Do what you will, my poor ultramontaine press; you will not stop me from advancing." The term "ultramontaine" refers to a particular political or religious stance within the context of Catholicism that is strongly supportive of the Pope's authority.

The word "Actualités" at the top of the image suggests this illustration might have been part of a current events or social commentary section. The numbers and text seem to indicate this as part of a series, perhaps a collected edition of satirical prints.

This kind of artwork likely served as a form of political satire or social commentary common in the periodicals of the 19th and early 20th centuries. The artist's signature or initials, along with the print date, may be present at the bottom left but they are not clearly legible to provide more specific information about the creator or the exact date of creation.

This is a historical political cartoon or satirical illustration, titled "ACTUALITES" (meaning "Current Events" in French). The artwork shows two figures in dramatic motion - one appears to be wielding a staff or pole while wearing flowing robes, while another figure is shown in a defensive posture. The image is rendered in black and white using what appears to be lithographic or similar printing techniques typical of 19th century illustrations.

At the bottom of the image, there's French text that reads "Vous aurez beau faire, ma pauvre presse ultramontaine, vous ne m'empêcherez pas de marcher" which roughly translates to "No matter what you do, my poor ultramontane press, you won't prevent me from moving forward."

The illustration seems to be commenting on political or religious tensions of the time, likely relating to conflicts between secular and ultramontane (strongly pro-papal) factions in French society. The art style is characteristic of mid-19th century political caricature, with exaggerated features and dramatic poses.
