EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Bastille, Paris" takes us back to the tumultuous era of the French Revolution. The image portrays the exterior of the infamous Bastille prison, with an approaching mob wielding flaming torches and billowing smoke emanating from within its walls. This historical moment is captured in a tinted drawing that evokes a sense of chaos and rebellion. The scene depicts the storming of the Bastille on July 14,1789, a pivotal event that marked the beginning of the revolution. The drawbridge stands ominously raised as revolutionaries gather outside, determined to free prisoners held captive by an oppressive regime. The illustration showcases both the desperation and determination felt by those seeking justice during this period. Crime and punishment are at center stage in this image as it highlights not only France's troubled past but also serves as a reminder of how far society has come since then. It offers insight into one of history's most significant revolutions and reminds us of our collective struggle for freedom and equality. Through this remarkable artwork, we are transported to eighteenth-century France where passion for change ignited flames that would forever alter history. As we gaze upon this piece, we can almost hear echoes from centuries past whispering tales of bravery and resilience amidst political turmoil.
