Catherine de Lorraine conspires with Jacques Clement in yet another gripping engraving from 1589. Secrets whispered behind closed doors echo through history as their plot unfolds. The Warning House lithograph serves as a chilling reminder that even trusted spaces can harbor hidden agendas. Dr. Bernard faces examination at Bow Street for conspiring to assassinate Emperor Napoleon – an event etched forever in an engraving capturing this pivotal moment. Le Charivari presents Ratapoil gifting children with a new toy, symbolizing manipulation and propaganda during times when conspiracies were used for political gain.
