Et ... Voila ...Les voyageurs qui nous passent devant le nez!

The image shows three people from the waist up, positioned side by side facing to the right. The person on the left is leaning back slightly, with their head tilted upward and hands clasped in front. The middle person also has their head slightly angled back and shares a similar posture. The rightmost person stands more erect, with their arms crossed. All three have elongated facial features, most notably long, exaggerated noses. They wear hats, with the two on the left in top hats, and the one on the right in a slightly broader-brimmed hat. Their hair is mostly hidden under their headwear. The individuals are dressed in formal attire, characterized by coats and cravats. Surrounding them is a wooden fence, and in the background, a steam train is seen passing in the distance. A building labeled "POSTE AUX CHEVAUX" is visible behind the leftmost person. The setting appears to be outdoors, with the open landscape continuing into the background, over which the train moves.
