Description
A man wearing a ragged cloak and a crown-like hat stands on a half-barrel turned upside down with a whip in his hand and a long knife at his belt. He looks defiantly to the left of the picture as the two figures in the foreground stand out of the small crowd which has gathered around him.
The caption reads in the original French: Les trois chefs des truands.
Keywords: 1840s, 19th century, black & white, crime, Laisné
