Description
English:

Published right after Waterloo, this caricature refers at once to a popular card game and to a pro-Bonaparte newspaper founded in December 1814. After Napoleon's fall, the newspaper's founder sought refuge in Belgium and continued to publish from there, switching the focus from pro-Napoleon to anti-royalist. The legend above the plume ("to the highest bidder") suggests that the magazine became more opportunistic than loyal to Napoleon. The card game, dating from the 18th century, requires players to get rid of the card with the yellow dwarf, symbolic of evil. Thus, depending on your interpretation, Napoleon is either being propped up by the fickle media or by the forces of evil. Whatever his meager support, it looks like he will fall anyway.

Public domain
This work is in the public domain in France for one of the following reasons:
  • Its author (or the last of its authors in the case of a collaboration work) died more than 70 years ago (CPI art. L123-1) and did not benefit from any copyright extension (CPI art. L123-8, L123-9 and L123-10)[1];
  • It is an anonymous or pseudonymous work (the identity of the author has never been disclosed) or a collective work[2] and more than 70 years have passed since its publication (CPI art. L123-3);
  • It is the recording of an audiovisual or musical work already in the public domain, and more than 50 years have passed since the performance or the recording (CPI art. L211-4).
Please note that moral rights still apply when the work is in the public domain. They encompass, among others, the right to the respect of the author's name, quality and work (CPI art. L121-1). Attribution therefore remains mandatory.
  1. ↑ Copyright extensions must be considered only in the case of musical works and of authors Mort pour la France (died during conflict, in the service of France). In other cases, they are included in the 70 years post mortem auctoris length (see this statement of the Cour de Cassation).
  2. ↑ The collective work status is quite restrictive, please make sure that it is actually established.
