First caricature of the music competition in Brussels, 1830

Satirical print on the music competition held in Brussels simultaneously with the National Industry Exhibition, July 1830. Music lovers have been lured like mice into a trap with the news that the Harmonie of Frankfurt would perform at the competition. This Harmonie is projected as a magic lantern slide onto a building. On the left, a clown on a podium addresses the public. Behind him, on a scaffold, are the flags of the cities participating in the competition. With legend 1-9. Handwritten inscriptions in the image and on the sheet. Part of a group of three satirical prints: Avant - Pendant - Après.
