Allongeons le pas ... voila ceux hommes ...

This is a drawing of a street scene with figures. The drawing portrays a trio moving quickly along a street. The man is in a top hat and formal attire, holding a walking stick and a child's hand. The woman is dressed in a modest outfit with a bonnet, holding onto the man's arm. Both of them have anxious expressions. In the background, blurred figures wearing similar period clothing are walking in the opposite direction. The setting is an urban street lined with tall, indistinct buildings. The style is characteristic of a satirical or commentary cartoon. The text's title is "Les Alarmistes et Les Alarmés," translating to "The Alarmists and the Alarmed."
