EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a collection of pottery specimens from M. Champfleury, providing a unique and illustrative glimpse into the French Revolution of 1864. Each piece tells a story, capturing the essence of this tumultuous period in history.
From the portrait of Necker on a milk-pot symbolizing hope and support for France to the holy-water vase possibly belonging to an unsworn priest, each item holds significance and meaning. The inkstand with inscriptions calling for war against tyrants and unity within the Republic speaks volumes about the revolutionary spirit of the time.
The plate featuring Jeanne Charbonnier carrying a yellow cap on a pike embodies the goddess representing resistance and rebellion. The fountain adorned with emblems of agriculture, army, and church symbolizes the three estates coming together in solidarity.
As you explore each piece in this collection – from shaving-dishes depicting alliances between church dignitaries and nobles to crockery honoring Mirabeau – you can't help but feel transported back to a time when freedom was fought for fiercely.
This print serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made during the French Revolution, immortalizing moments like the capture of Bastille in 1789 with inscriptions like "Vivre libre ou mourir" (Live free or die). It's truly a testament to history preserved through artistry.
