EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures a significant historical document, the Certificate of Admission to the National Guard of Volunteers of Nantes in 1789. Created by the French School in the 18th century, this print showcases an important moment during the French Revolution. The certificate, signed by Anne-Pierre Coustard, who tragically met his fate at the guillotine in 1793, represents loyalty and support for both the Bourbon monarchy and Brittany. The bonnet adorned with fleur de lis symbolizes allegiance to the royal family while also representing France itself. Additionally, the bonnet featuring ermine serves as a powerful emblem for Brittany. Through this lithograph, we are transported back to a time when political ideologies clashed and revolution was on everyone's lips. It is a testament to how deeply rooted these sentiments were that such certificates were issued and proudly displayed. Preserved within a private collection today, this print not only offers us insight into history but also reminds us of our shared human experiences across time. It stands as evidence of individuals' commitment to their beliefs and their willingness to fight for them. As we gaze upon this image from Fine Art Finder's Bridgeman Images collection, let us reflect on those turbulent times and appreciate how far we have come since then – all while acknowledging that remnants from our past continue to shape our present reality.
