EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history - the French Revolution. Taken on the night of 12 to 13 July 1789, it depicts the Paris guard being taken over by the people. The engraving, skillfully done by Berthaut after Prior, beautifully portrays this significant event. In this scene, we see a bustling street in Paris filled with passionate revolutionaries. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation and determination as they take control of their destiny. A musician stands at the forefront, beating his drum rhythmically to inspire unity among the crowd. The image showcases not only the political upheaval but also highlights the cultural significance of music during this time. The tambourine held by one of the figures symbolizes both celebration and resistance. Preserved in the Library of Institute of History of Revolution in Paris, this engraving serves as a visual testament to an era that forever changed France and reverberated across Europe. It offers us a glimpse into those tumultuous times when ordinary citizens rose up against oppression and fought for their rights. As we gaze upon this historical artifact captured by Photo Josse, we are reminded of how art can immortalize moments that shaped our world. This print invites us to reflect on our own capacity for change and reminds us that even amidst chaos, hope can emerge from darkness.
