The 1789 French Revolution was a time of immense change and upheaval in France. It marked the beginning of a new era, as the people rose up against their oppressive monarchy and demanded liberty, equality, and fraternity. One iconic image from this period is "No Sir, I've Never Been afraid of a sans culotte. " This colorful lithograph captures the spirit of defiance that characterized the revolutionaries. They were not afraid to stand up for their rights and challenge those in power. Another significant figure during this time was Marshal Jean-Baptiste-Jules Bernadotte, who later became Charles XIV of Sweden. An engraving depicting him showcases his military prowess and highlights his role in shaping Europe's political landscape. The storming of the Bastille is perhaps one of the most well-known events from this period. An oil painting titled "The storming of the Bastille and the arrest of M. De Launay" vividly portrays this pivotal moment when angry mobs overtook the infamous prison symbolizing royal tyranny. Tragedy also struck during these turbulent times, as seen in an engraving titled "L'exécution d'Elisabeth de France.

A solemn engraving called "Tomb of General Marceau" pays tribute to one such hero who fought valiantly for freedom but tragically lost his life on the battlefield. "The Conquerors of the Bastille" is another powerful engraving that immortalizes those brave individuals who stormed into history by toppling an emblematic stronghold representing oppression. Music played a crucial role during this period too; an engraving named "Ah. Ça Ira" reflects how songs like these became anthems for revolutionaries rallying together with hope for change.
