"According to La Combe this was part of an untitled series of prints representing scenes from the 1830 Revolution published by Gihaut frères; La Combe states that a series of twelve prints was intended but the idea was abandoned after the first four lithographs due to lack of public interest. The identity of Charlet's collaborator Jaime is uncertain. The name may refer to E. Jaime active from 1830-40 or Jean-François Jaime active 1804-64. La Combe states that Charlet represented the figures while Jaime was responsible for the setting."--British Museum online catalog.
