EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph, titled 'Bourgeois men, 1794, French National Convention era,' offers a striking visual representation of the social and political dichotomy that characterized France during the height of the French Revolution. The image features two men, one an elderly gentleman dressed in the ancient style, reminiscent of the pre-Revolutionary era, and the other a young man in the revolutionary style, wearing a white gilet a la Robespierre. The elderly man, with his powdered wig, voluminous robes, and cane, embodies the traditional Bourgeois class that once held significant power and influence in French society. His attire represents the opulence and grandeur of the Ancien Régime, a stark contrast to the simplicity and egalitarian ideals of the Revolution. The young man, dressed in the revolutionary style, symbolizes the new order that was emerging. His white gilet, or waistcoat, a la Robespierre, was a popular garment among the revolutionary leaders and represented their commitment to the cause. The absence of a wig and the unadorned, practical clothing further emphasizes the rejection of the old order and the embrace of the revolutionary ideals. The French National Convention, established in 1792, was the legislative body that oversaw the Reign of Terror, a period of radical political and social upheaval that lasted from 1793 to 1794. This lithograph, created in 1852 by the renowned French publisher Paul Lacroix under the imprint Le Bibliophile Jacob, offers a fascinating glimpse into the tumultuous era of the French Revolution and the profound changes it brought about in French society.
