Louis Antoine Gamier-Pagès supported the revolutions of 1830 and 1848 and took a leading part in the Republican opposition under the Empire. He was a member of the Government of National Defence but failed to secure election to the National Assembly in 1871. This caricature is inspired by an incident which took place on 31 October when the old republican was imprisoned along with his colleagues in the Hôtel de Ville. After being rudely interrupted as he reminisced to the mob he was rumoured to have declared hysterically 'I am going home, to my family; and to-morrow I shall no longer take any part in politics'. He is shown placing the enormous white collar he affected under a glass dome, a gesture symbolic of his withdrawal from public life.
