- Curator's comments
- The motto translates as "The poor in spirit is theirs". This is from a series of parodic coats of arms setting forth the conflict between the working class and the bourgeosie; not listed in Beraldi. For more information see Beatrice Farwell, "The Charged Image: French Lithographic Caricature 1816-1848", Santa Barbara Museum of Art, 1989, p.123.
