"France Delivered to the Crows" is a lithograph by the French artist J.J. Grandville from 1831. The artwork depicts a symbolic scene of a chained and lifeless figure, France, being devoured by a flock of crows. Grandville's work was known for its satirical and political commentary, and this piece likely critiques the state of France following the July Revolution of 1830. The use of crows as a symbol of decay and misfortune adds to the somber tone of the artwork, reflecting the political and social unrest of the period.
