What you’re looking at

This appears to be a satirical cartoon about General Georges Boulanger, a French military and political figure of the late 19th century. The title "EXIT BOULANGER" suggests his political departure or downfall. The cartoon depicts a figure (likely Boulanger) being forcibly removed or expelled, with what appears to be a document labeled "IMMORALITY" visible. The composition emphasizes ejection or rejection from power. **Context**: Boulanger was a controversial French general who threatened democratic institutions in the 1880s-90s, drawing supporters who hoped he'd establish authoritarian rule. His eventual political collapse came amid scandals and his flight from France. The satire likely celebrates his removal as a threat to republican government, portraying his exit as necessary cleansing of French politics.
