EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the assembly of the faubourg Saint Antoine in Paris on 28 April 1789, marking the first sparks of the French Revolution. The image depicts workers gathered together to protest against Jean Baptiste Reveillon's controversial tax initiatives on manufactures. The scene is filled with intensity and determination as men and women from all walks of life unite in their opposition. Their faces reflect a mix of anger, frustration, and hope for change. Each person present represents a voice demanding justice and fair treatment. The drawing by Veny and Girardet beautifully portrays this historic event, capturing not only the physical presence but also the emotions running high among these protesters. The engraving by Lepine and Niquet adds depth to the image, emphasizing every detail that tells a story of resistance against oppressive policies. Preserved within the Library of the Institute of History of Revolution in Paris, this photograph serves as a reminder of how ordinary individuals can come together to challenge authority when they believe their rights are being violated. It symbolizes an important turning point in French history that would shape future revolutions around the world. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are transported back to that fateful day when citizens took to the streets to fight for their rights.
