Description |
English: Satire on censorship and the royalist press, two of the pillars of Ultra opinion; a race at Longchamps with, in the distance, riders on horses moving along the Champs-Élysées towards the (unfinished) Étoile arch, while in the foreground a deviation from the race by two odd carriages each pulled by a crayfish going backwards (facing the opposite direction from their riders): in the centre, one of these carriages bears a group comprising wigged men in uniform ('voltigeurs' identified by 'Le Miroir' as press censors and Academicians) and a woman in outdated dress ('La Quotidienne'), one of whom has a speech bubble with the motto of the Order of the Crayfish "En arrière, marche!!!", while behind them, to the left, a smaller carriage flying the banner with the scissors of censorship and bearing the 'éteignoir' (candle-snuffer)-shaped or 'pain de sucre' (sugar-loaf) figure of the censor Marie-Joseph Pain on a chair (the censor Lachaize); in the foreground to left, two bystanders, one (possibly Delacroix himself) blowing a whistle at the at the two carriages; published in 'Le Miroir', 4th April 1822 Lithograph. |
