A caricature of Alexandre Gabriel Decamp published after the July 1830 revolution in France.
The translation of the sign reads roughly as follows:
"Arrest by the provostcourt which sentences Françoise Liberté, born in Paris in the year 1790, to payment of a bail and to branding with the letters T.R. (timbre royal=royal stamp) due to the crime of revolt during the 27, 28 und 29 July 1830"

Agracier recently posted the following scans on Vintage Erotica Forum. Thought I would share them here. The 1905 work is an erotic retelling of the life of King David. The illustrations are by Charles Atamian...
1) The Amalekite women left on the battlefield at the mercy of the Israelites
2) The same Amalekite women taken into a harem
3) A biblical slave market
4) Captives (a bit too consenting to my taste) presented to a despondent King David
5) Women fleeing the palace in shame (I would presume these are David's concubines that his son Absalom violated publicly in his rebellion)

Woman in second picture: "When I said I did not want to be naked, I did not expect the guards to glue a tambourine to my head!"
And not one of the cheery ones. He does seem remarkably unhappy for a man presented with a bunch of naked women, and we know he had an eye for a nice bit of . . . . . . .
Because when you take your women to a battle they always go naked?
As his name suggests, he was Armenian, born in Istanbul, and fled to France due to the persecution of Armenians in the late 19th century. I wonder if he ever illustrated the 20th century massacre, or was it too close to the bone for him?

slaves aside, as a fetish producer that has dealt with multiple females at one time it is like herding cats!

Good remark ! These illustrations precede the genocide. Otherwise I would have suspected them to be inspired by real-life events he could have been an eye-witness of...
