EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the bustling scene on the Champ de Mars in Paris, as preparations are underway for the Fete de la Federation on 14 July 1790. The image showcases women, children, and elderly individuals hard at work, symbolizing the collective effort to celebrate Bastille Day for the first time. The illustration is a satirical drawing from Charles D Hericault's book "La Revolution 1789-1882" offering a scathing satire of the political climate during the French Revolution. It humorously depicts workers using wheelbarrows to transport materials needed for the festivities. Amidst this lively atmosphere, one can sense both excitement and determination as people of all ages contribute their labor towards creating an unforgettable celebration. The presence of children highlights their involvement in historical events and emphasizes their importance in shaping France's future. The engraving not only commemorates an important anniversary but also serves as a reminder of unity and resilience during times of change. It encapsulates both the spirit of revolution and national pride that defined this period in history. As we gaze upon this print today, it offers us a glimpse into France's rich past while reminding us of our shared humanity across generations. It stands as a testament to how celebrations like Bastille Day continue to bring people together even centuries later.
