- Abstract
-
"Broadside on the execution of Louis XVI; with a hand-coloured aquatint pasted to a list printed in four black-bordered columns, the (printed) title as above. Fortune, blindfolded, with winged feet, pushes her wheel on the summit of the globe, which emerges from clouds and is decorated by three large fleur-de-lis. She runs in profile to the right, her draperies floating behind her. On the lower left circumference of the wheel, about to move upwards, are a crown and a cross; on its summit are two papers inscribed 'Tallien' and 'Merlin'. On the right, and beginning to descend, is a bonnet-rouge. On the lower right circumference, about to be crushed, are papers inscribed 'Collot d'Herbois' and (almost at the lowest point) 'Barrere'. Each column is again divided into four, headed: 'Names', 'Departments', 'When arrested', 'Fate'. Beneath this long list are two shorter ones: 'A List of those, who, without having Voted for the King's Murder, have made themselves eminent in the French Revolution, and have been recompensed', i.e. have been guillotined or have committed suicide. This is followed by a list of 'French Republican Generals, who have received a reward for their services, during the French Revolution'. Most have been guillotined, others have died by suicide or otherwise, some have merely been arrested. 'Dumourier' appears as 'Deserter'."--British Museum online catalogue
