- The 'Chansons Politiques de P.J. de Béranger' were published by P.J. de Béranger in 1815. In 1828 Baudouin published an illustrated edition with vignettes by Devéria and illustrations by Monnier. This edition was so successful that other editions were published in the following decades (see: Marie 1931, p.265 n.651-758), always with illustrations by and after Monnier. In the first edition of 1828, not all the 'chansons' were illustrated. Other illustrations were published as supplement of the edition of 1828, and some of them complete the missing illustrations. The edition quoted by Champfleury (364) refers not to 1842 but to 1828. The present print was not published in the edition of 1828, and is part of the illustrations which were published separately.
