Parkland full of people and horses racing in front of trees and a large building, all watching the spectacle in the sky; on the left, a large hot air balloon, attached to four smaller balloons with flags and decorations, with one passenger in the basket below waving a flag.

In the sky on the right is an elephant.]] ^[[caption underneath illustration]] FÊTE AT CHAMP DE MARS, LE DIMANCHE 22 MAI 1831, DÉDIÉE A LA GARDE NATIONALE PAR EUGÈNE ROBERTSON
