Title
English: La France Constitutionnelle
Description
English: This drawing shows France suffering under Napoleon's reign. The artist shows him perched on a woman symbolizing France, who has grey hair, a pale and wan face, her arm in a sling, and a wooden leg. She wears a crown and a torn dress covered with bees, the symbol of the Empire. Napoleon is pulling on the bit between her teeth, and she is morning and leaning on a crutch. At her feet is a cornucopia from which spill a snake, some documents, and the flame of liberty.
