Avis aux Pertubateurs du bon-ordre Par Fue Bordier mort en l'air à Rouen le 21 Aout 1789. Vous verrez que je serai pendu pour arranger l'affaire. Nuit aux aventures, Act III. Sc.IX, rôle de Frontin.
[n.d. c.1800.]
Engraving. Plate 260 x 172mm. 10¼ x 6¾". Some foxing; water stain to right-hand side.
A French engraving illustrating a scene from a highly politicised play titled 'Nuit aux aventures'. A harlequin called 'Frontin' stands with his club in front of the gallows, apparently a symbol of chaos and anarchy. The scene seems to have been inspired by actual events in the form of revolutionary riots at Rouen in August 1789, and reflects later attitudes to the early years of the Revolution. This print focuses on Francois Bordier (1758-1789) and his untimely death. He was involved in the pillaging of the Hotel de L'Intendence of Rouen along with a lawyer named Jourdain. They were both arrested and eventually Bordier was condemned to death and hung on 21 August 1789.

Les Belges Sinceres et trop credules, portent leur Or et leur Argent en offrande au perfide VanderNoot...
[Anon., French?., c.1790.]
Etching on watermarked laid paper, sheet 200 x 170mm. 8 x 6¾". Trimmed within plate, possibly a fragment of a larger print?
Political satire; tribute in the form of bags and bowls of coins is brought before Hendrik Karel Nicolaas van der Noot (1731 - 1827) at centre, standing on a lettered pedestal. Van der Noot was one of the main players of the Brabant Revolution (1789-1790) against the Austrian rule of Emperor Joseph II. This revolution led to the short-lived existence of the United States of Belgium (January 11, 1790 - December 1790). This print attacks him as a traitor to his country (as described on plinth), and is probably printed by a supporter of Van der Noot's co-revolutionary and more radical rival Jan Frans Vonck (1743 – 1792), who advocated a state constructed on the French Revolutionary model.

Caesar et Imperator. "Ah, Massa Napoleon! you al'ays was de friend ob freedom - now you am a'man and a broder." The Emperor Napoleon had been advocating the cause of liberty - everywhere but in France.--July, 1861.
[Punch, July, 1861.]
Etching. 362 x 280mm. 14¼ x 11".
Napoleon III (1808-1873) the President of the French Second Republic. Until about 1861, Napoleon's regime exhibited decidedly authoritarian characteristics, using press censorship to prevent the spread of opposition, manipulating elections, and depriving the Parliament of the right to free debate or any real power. He often referred to himself as Julius Caesar, drawing analogy between the politics of Caesar and his own.
