- The 'Chansons Politiques de P.J. de Béranger' were published by P.J. de Béranger in 1815. In 1828 Badouin published an illustrated edition with vignettes by Déveria 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. According to Marie (n.708-727), a series of erotic lithographs was published after the illustrations for the 'Chansons'. The present print is part of this series.
