EDITORS COMMENTS
The vibrant and captivating print titled "L'Égout Royal caricature of the flight of the French royal family to Varennes on 21st June 1791" takes us back in time to one of the most significant moments in French history. This color lithograph, created by an anonymous artist from the 18th century, showcases a satirical depiction of the escape attempt made by King Louis XVI and his family during the tumultuous period of the French Revolution. In this comical yet thought-provoking artwork, we see various key figures involved in this daring escapade. Jean-Sylvain Bailly, Mayor of Paris and Deputy to the Estates General, is prominently featured as he guides them through what was known as "The Royal Sewer". The exaggerated expressions and gestures add a touch of humor to an otherwise tense situation. The image also includes other notable personalities such as Marie Antoinette, Louis XVIII (known as Monsieur), Princess Marie Thérèse Charlotte (Madame Royale), Elisabeth de France, and many more. Each character's unique personality shines through their animated portrayals. This print not only captures historical events but also serves as a reminder of how art can be used to convey political messages. It offers viewers a glimpse into both the chaos and creativity that characterized this era. Preserved at Musee Carnavalet in Paris, France, this piece continues to fascinate audiences with its intricate details and vivid colors while shedding light on an important chapter
