In the interests of impartiality, the four main political factions of the time (Republicans, Monarchists, Bonapartists and Boulangists) were each allocated a page on which their respective ‘popular images’ were reproduced. The fourth page features Boulangism. Glücq combines a portrait on horseback, two vignettes, a kaleidoscope of Boulangist figures and an illustrated ‘General’s Game of the Goose’. Enclosed: *L’Illustration*, issues of 16 July 1887 and 22 October 1887 - *Le Forum*, no. 29, 28 July 1887 - *Jeu l’Assiette au Beurre* game, Boulangist camp/Parliamentary camp - 13 newspapers, 1870–1871 (*La Patrie*, *Le Figaro*, *Journal Officiel*, etc.) - Over 45 newspapers (Le Figaro, Le Gaulois, La Nation, La Cocarde, La France, L’Authie, La Presse, etc.), 1885–1888
