EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century depicts a significant event in French history - the French Revolution's New Year's Eve case. The image, part of a private collection, showcases the intensity and fervor that characterized this popular revolt. Taking place from April 26 to April 28,1789, at the faubourg Saint-Antoine in Paris, this uprising foreshadowed the eventual storming of the Bastille on July 14. Known as the Revilon riots, they centered around Jean-Baptiste Revilon's luxury wallpaper factory located in the St Antoine district. The engraving is sourced from "Paris à travers les siècles" by Gourdon de Genouillac and offers a glimpse into this pivotal moment in history. It captures both chaos and determination as people take to the streets demanding justice and change. Through intricate details and skilled craftsmanship, we are transported back to an era where revolution was brewing. This print serves as a visual reminder of how ordinary citizens can rise up against oppression and fight for their rights. Preserved within The Holbarn Archive and made available by Bridgeman Images, this engraving allows us to reflect on our past while appreciating its artistic value. As we study this piece closely, it becomes evident that art has always played an essential role in documenting historical events for future generations to learn from and be inspired by.
