The caption for this illustration reads: Between Two terrors (“White” and “Red”). The labels on the characters from left to right are: Monarchy, France, Communism. The man represents Louis Adolphe Thiers, the first President of the Third Republic. The figure representing France embraces him. To the right is the threatening figure of Communism, and to the left the shrouded figure of Monarchy. Opposed by the monarchists in the French assembly and the left wing of the Republicans, Thiers resigned on 24 May 1873. It is taken from the Punch Almanac for 1873. Its date is October 18, 1873. Punch, or The London Charivari, was a British weekly magazine of humor and satire established in 1841 by Henry Mayhew and wood-engraver Ebenezer Landells.
