Notes |
(Description and comment from M.Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', VII, 1942) The points of the satire are made in the text without which the design is incomprehensible. The gold of Pitt, as usual, is all-important: it not only subsidizes the Coalition, but buys Charette, the Vendéan leader, and Hébert, guillotined 24 March 1794. The divided aims of the allies and the selfish policy of Prussia and Russia are exposed. The foreign policy of Naples was directed by Sir John Acton and influenced by the ambitious queen: to them was due an alliance in 1793 with England and Austria. Cf. BMSats 8363, 8821. The print is described in 'Les Nouvelles politiques nationales et étrangères', 8 fructidor [An II], 25 Aug. 1794. On 14 vendémiaire An III (5 Oct. 1794), the Committee of Public Safety ordered a payment of 1,250 livres to the artist de Roo [unidentifiable] for 1,000 impressions furnished by him to the Committee at the price of 25 sols each. Blum, p. 198. See Aulard, 'Paris pendant la réaction thermidorienne et sous le Directoire', 1898, i. 45 (print described). de Vinck, No. 4359. Blum, No. 610. A copy (reversed) in Jaime, ii, Pl. 102. c. (Supplementary information) See Claudette Hould 'La propagande de l'état par l'estampe durant la terreur' in Michel Vovelle (ed.), 'Les images de la Révolution française', Paris 1988 pp.29-37. |

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag. |
