About
Plate 306 from the 'Célébrités de La Caricature' ('Celebrities from La Caricature') series, published in 'La Caricature', no 146, 22 August 1833.
Pierre Paul Royer-Collard (1763–1845) was a liberal monarchist who supported freedom of the press in 1835. In this print, he wears a suit too large for his stature, meaning that the job is too big for him.
