EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking image captures the historic opening of the States-General in the Salle des Menus Plaisirs at Versailles on May 5, 1789. The States-General was a legislative assembly convened to address France's mounting financial crisis, and this event would ultimately mark the beginning of the French Revolution. In the photograph, members of the Third Estate, representing the common people, are seen outnumbering the clergy and aristocrats, who were traditionally the most powerful groups in French society. The Third Estate's demand for greater representation and political power would soon lead to the formation of the National Assembly and the adoption of the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen. The Salle des Menus Plaisirs, a grand hall in the Palace of Versailles, was chosen as the venue for the States-General due to its size and capacity to accommodate the large number of delegates. The room is adorned with ornate decorations, reflecting the opulence and grandeur of the French monarchy. This image is a testament to the political upheaval and social change that was taking place in France at the time. The States-General marked a turning point in French history, as the country moved towards a more democratic and egalitarian society. The events of May 5, 1789, would have far-reaching consequences, shaping the course of French history and influencing political developments around the world.
