This image is a satirical illustration titled "Surveillant la Commission de Surveillance," which translates to "Overseeing the Surveillance Commission." It appears to be from a publication series called "Actualités," indicated by the title at the top of the image. The image number is 209. The illustration depicts a scene with two main figures. In the foreground, a stern and intimidating man dressed in dark attire, possibly resembling a judge or an authority figure, is carrying a large stick or club. His posture and facial expression convey a sense of vigilance and seriousness as he places his hand to his ear as though listening intently or eavesdropping. In the background, another figure in lighter attire, possibly a woman, stands near a fence in front of a building with the partially visible inscription "BEE. E. NATIONALE." The figure appears to be looking away, possibly unaware or unconcerned about the stern figure's presence. The overall tone of the image suggests a critique or humorous take on the concept of surveillance and authority, capturing the tension and irony in the idea of watching the watchers.

This image shows a lithograph with the title "ACTUALITÉS" at the top, suggesting it's part of a series or publication focused on current affairs or topical subjects, likely from a historical period. The number 209 appears to its right, indicating that this might be a page number or a sequence number within the series. The artwork itself depicts a caricature of a person standing and looking through a pair of binoculars or a spyglass towards a distant figure. The main character is drawn in an exaggerated manner typical of caricatures, with prominent features and a hunched stance. This figure is wearing a dark coat, a hat, and is leaning on a cane, suggesting an air of authority or surveillance. The person is observing another individual who appears to be a guard or soldier, identified by a uniform including what looks like a shako (a tall, cylindrical military cap) and is holding a rifle with a bayonet. The soldier or guard is standing in front of a fenced area with a building labeled "BILLE. NATIONALE," possibly referring to a national lottery or bank based on the wording, but the full context is not clear from the excerpt of the text. Below the illustration, there is a caption in French that reads "Surveillant la Commission de Surveillance." This translates to "Supervising the Supervision Commission," which adds a layer of irony or satire, as it depicts a person overseeing a body that is itself tasked with oversight. In the bottom margin, there is the name "Aubert & C.ie Imp." This is likely the name of the printing company that produced the lithograph. "r. Bergere, 29 Paris" is the address of the printer, situated on Bergere Street in Paris. Lastly, there's a signature or mark "h.D." in the left corner of the artwork, which may be the initials of the artist who created the lithograph.

This is a historical satirical illustration titled "Surveillant la Commission de Surveillance" (Watching the Surveillance Commission). The image shows two figures - a uniformed guard standing at his post near what appears to be the "Assemblée Nationale" (National Assembly) building, and a mysterious figure in black clothing who is observing the guard. The observer is wearing a long dark coat and hat, and is depicted holding what appears to be a spyglass or telescope while also carrying a walking stick or cane. The illustration appears to be a commentary on the notion of who watches the watchers, creating an ironic scene about surveillance and counter-surveillance in French politics. The artwork seems to be from the 19th century, given its style and context.

The image depicts a satirical political cartoon from the 19th century. It shows a well-dressed gentleman in a long black coat and hat holding a cane or umbrella while surveilling or spying on a woman standing in front of a building labeled "Élise Nationale". The woman appears to be a representative figure, perhaps symbolizing the national government or assembly. The style is a charcoal or pencil sketch with shading to create depth and volume in the figures. Text at the top labels it "Actualités" (current events) and a caption at the bottom reads "Surveillant la Commission de Surveillance" which translates to "Monitoring the Monitoring Commission". The cartoon seems to be making a critical commentary about excessive government oversight, bureaucracy or political maneuvering at the time. The man's appearance suggests he represents the aristocracy or political elite keeping tabs on the workings of the national institutions in a surreptitious manner. It's an intriguing historical glimpse into French political satire and public sentiment of that era.
