Notes

The scene refers to the group of six Native-americans brought to Paris by Colonel David Delaunay and exhibited to the Parisian public. La Silhouette was published from the 24 December 1829 to the 2 January 1831. Founded by Honoré de Balzac, Emile de Girardin-Ratier and Victor Varaigne. It was the first weekly caricature journal published in France which valorised both text and image. The illustrations were executed by Henri Monnier, Charles Philipon, Grandville, Daumier, Devéria and Traviès.
