EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history during the French Revolution. On the 17th of July, 1789, King Louis XVI of France is depicted receiving the tricolore cockade from Jean-Sylvain Bailly, the newly appointed mayor of Paris. The tricolore cockade symbolized the revolutionary spirit and unity of the people. The image showcases an intimate exchange between two significant figures amidst a backdrop of political turmoil. King Louis XVI appears regal yet apprehensive as he accepts this powerful emblem from Bailly. His expression hints at his uncertainty about the changing tides and growing unrest within his kingdom. Bailly, on the other hand, exudes determination and hope for a new era as he presents this symbolic token to the king. This act signifies not only a shift in power but also represents the aspirations and demands of an entire nation yearning for change. The drawing itself adds depth to this historical scene with its intricate details rendered by Anton Ziegade in 1840. It transports us back to that fateful day when France stood on the precipice of revolution. Preserved in private collection by Geiger, Peter Johann Nepomuck (1805-80), this photograph serves as a reminder of how art can capture moments that shape our world forever. Its inclusion in "Historische Memorabilien des In-und Auslandes" further solidifies its significance as part of our collective memory. Through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, we are fortunate enough to witness this extraordinary piece that immortalizes one crucial event among many during one of history's most transformative periods – The French Revolution.
