This print captures the historic moment of Mirabeau arriving at the Champs Elisees in 1795. As he hands a copy of the French Constitution to J.J. Rousseau, Benjamin Franklin reaches out to place a wreath on his head, symbolizing honor and recognition.

This image not only captures a specific moment in history but also represents a convergence of ideas and ideologies that shaped the course of European politics during the 18th century.
