Symbol and satire in the French Revolution

Henderson, Ernest F. (Ernest Flagg), 1861-1928 · 1912 · New York, London, G.P. Putnam's Sons · 180 pictures

Ernest F. Henderson's 1912 study for G. P. Putnam's Sons, New York and London, reproducing French Revolutionary prints, caricatures and emblems of the 1790s for English-reading students of the period. The plates are engraved and etched line work: robed clergy and deputies in procession, crowd scenes before classical facades, oval allegorical vignettes with soldiers, windmills and flying figures, keyed captions beneath.
