Weird Winged Crocodile at the Devil Worshipper’s Wedding

[toff]

Has something to do with the "Affaire Léo Taxil,"  Francesco Crispi, and the Mémoires d'une ex-palladiste parfaite, initiée, indépendante, and/or Le 33e Crispi: un palladiste homme d'État démasqué, histoire documentée du héros depuis sa naissance jusqu'à sa deuxième mort,  I think - I can only claim to have skimmed a Google Translate rendition of the French Wikipedia's article on the Taxil case, somewhat more detailed than the English site's.

Croc appears to be playing "Down on the Swanee River"!

Weird Winged Crocodile at the Devil Worshipper’s Wedding.
(After a picture in the mysterious Diana Vaughn's book, "Memoirs of Crispi.")
As described in the strange publication which is exciting Europe, a spirit woman turned into this grotesque monster and “played the piano, casting expressive glances at one of the young women."
