In the foreground, two individuals, possibly men from their attire, are depicted in 19th-century clothing, suggesting the image could be from that period. One of them holds a hat in his hand, while the other one seems to be gesturing towards the elephant, possibly making a comment on it. At the bottom of the image, there's a caption in French, which reads, "Voilà un monument qui me semble un peu inutile!—Inutile!! Il sert à loger plus de quarante cinq mille rats!" This translates to, "Here is a monument that seems to me a little useless!—Useless!! It serves to lodge more than forty-five thousand rats!"

This is a historical French satirical illustration titled "Les Embellissements de Paris" (The Embellishments of Paris), showing "L'éléphant de la Bastille" (The Elephant of the Bastille). The image depicts two well-dressed gentlemen in formal 19th-century attire with top hats, viewing a large elephant monument. The elephant structure appears massive and imposing in the background, with what seems to be a building or platform on top of it. The illustration includes a caption that presents a dialogue between the two figures: "- Voilà un monument qui me semble un peu inutile!" "- Inutile!... il sert à loger plus de quarante cinq mille rats!" This translates to: "- There's a monument that seems a bit useless to me!" "- Useless!... it serves to house more than forty-five thousand rats!" This is a satirical commentary on the actual Elephant of the Bastille, which was a monument planned by Napoleon I to be built in Paris, but was never completed beyond a full-scale plaster model. The model stood for many years and indeed became notorious for the rats that inhabited it, exactly as the cartoon jokes about.
