EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to a pivotal moment in history - the Flight from Varennes. Postmaster Jean-Baptiste Drouet takes center stage as he controls the borrowed sedan carrying King Louis XVI and his family during their daring escape. The relay of Sainte-Menehould becomes the backdrop for this dramatic scene, which unfolded on June 20th, 1791. Jean-Baptiste Drouet's expression reveals a mix of determination and apprehension as he fulfills his duty while recognizing the fleeing monarch. His actions would forever alter the course of French history. This drawing, pulled from Anton Ziegler's "Historische Memorabilian des In-und Auslandes" (Historical Souvenirs) published in 1840, captures both the tension and significance of that fateful day. The image is part of Peter Johann Nepomuck Geiger's private collection and has been preserved by The Holbarn Archive. Its inclusion in Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate not only its historical value but also its artistic merit. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of how one individual's courage can shape destiny itself. It serves as a poignant reminder that even ordinary people like Jean-Baptiste Drouet can play extraordinary roles in shaping the course of events.
