Text Appearing Before Image:
ne sees the rabbits busily eat-ing the peasants cabbage and the pigeons his grain. But in the pendant to the picture,^ all is changed.The peasant shouting Long live the King, longlive the nation! is riding on the back of a mostchastened noble who wears the tri-coloured cockadein his hat and whose sword bears the inscription,To protect the nation. The noble in turn isleaning on a chastened clergy who bears in hishand the emblems of liberty and equality and relieffor the people. The peasant is clapping his handsin glee; on his shoulder is a sword with the inscrip-tion, Full of courage, and from the end of itdangles a dead rabbit. The pigeons lie prone ontheir backs, their stiffened legs in the air, while thecabbage, no longer nibbled and gnawed at, hasthrown out fine curling leaves. A somewhat similar double production is calledThe Frenchman hitherto,^ and The French-man to-day.* It is consecrated to the abuses of Plate 37, p. 84. 2 Plate 38, p. 85. 3 Plate 39, p. 86. 4 plate 40, p. 87.
