- Depiction: Scene at Aubert's shop at an important moment in it's history, when Aubert had begun to dominate the city's trade in caricature. By March 1832 Philipon had moved his shop to the Rue du Bouloi. Fashion prints are displayed to the left and right of the shop's facade. Between them are (at left) Grandville's La procession a l'autel de la paix (la Caricature, Nov. 8, 1831) and on the right Grandville's L'enterrement de la Paix (la Caricature, Dec. 1831). The large vertically oriented print on the left, 3rd row down, second from right is Numa's Regardon's Messieurs autour de nous (la Caricature, Dec. 8, 1831) and at the right - Raffet's Patriots de tous pays... in reverse (La Caricature, June 16, 1831). On the right are satirical portraits of King Louis Philippe. (James Cuno, Charles Philipon and La Maison Aubert: University Microfilms Int., 1985, illus. no.1).
