This is a drawing of a storefront scene with a ladder. The drawing depicts an exterior scene beside a building labeled "EPICERIES" with a tall, leaning ladder propped against it. There is one figure standing in front of the others next to the ladder. Above, the words "CARICATURES DU JOUR" suggest the publication context for this drawing. At the bottom, the word "DÉSILLUSION!" sits above a paragraph of French text. The use of shading and line work gives depth and texture to the scene.
