French School - XIX-XX Century - Intaglio Print - MACABRE SCENE .......What On Earth Is Going On?

When wandering around in the dark halls of eBay France after dark there is a real chance that you will stumble onto something that will either take your breath away by it's beauty or cause a brain seizure! Well this particular print, artist unknown, at least by the French seller, caused me to pause and scratch my head in a vain effort to figure out what on earth is going on with those people? Take a close look at the print and then decide what you think. A depiction of Dante's Inferno or some macabre depiction of what lies ahead for all of us if we stray from the narrow path in life? Well, after careful consideration I think I have finally figured it out.... It's obviously a scene from an American Divorce Court proceeding when the final judgement goes against the husband and madness results! Just kidding... or maybe not!
