EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in French history - the Coup d'Etat du Tiers-Etat. In this engraving by Jacques-Francois Joseph Swebach-Desfontaines, we witness the formation of the National Assembly on June 17,1789. The image depicts a stark contrast between two chambers: one filled with deputies from the Communes and another occupied by representatives of the Noblesse and Clerge. Against their wishes, the deputes of the Communes boldly choose to form themselves alone in the National Assembly, symbolizing a significant shift in power dynamics during this tumultuous time. Swebach's meticulous attention to detail brings this historical event to life. The expressions on each deputy's face convey determination and defiance as they challenge traditional authority structures. The composition highlights both unity among those representing commoners and their resolute stance against entrenched privilege. Displayed at Musee Carnavalet in Paris, this engraving serves as a powerful reminder of France's revolutionary past. It encapsulates not only an important turning point but also embodies ideals such as equality, representation, and democratic principles that continue to resonate today. Leonard de Selva skillfully captures every intricate line within Swebach's work through his photography. This print allows us to appreciate its historical significance while offering an opportunity for reflection on how these events shaped modern society.
