English: "The Great Nutcracker of July 25th, or the Impotent Horse-jaw". In this caricature Charles X is attempting to break with his teeth a billiard ball on which is written the word "Charter". The cartoon is entitled The Great Nutcracker of July 25th, or the Impotent Horse-jaw (ganache)—a play upon words.

His huge, ungainly teeth protrude like the incisors of a horse. He is expending the full crushing power of these teeth upon the "charter" of 1814, but is finding it a nut quite too hard to crack.
