EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historical artifact that holds immense significance in the financial history of France. The "Planche d'assignats" skillfully engraved by Stephane Pannemaker, takes us back to the turbulent times of the French Revolution. This engraving is part of Louis Blanc's renowned work, "Histoire de la Revolution Francaise" and was masterfully reproduced by Gerlier. The assignats depicted in this print were interest-bearing bonds issued as paper currency during the revolutionary government's reign from 1789 to 1796. These notes were secured by confiscated lands, symbolizing a radical shift in power and wealth distribution. Serving as legal tender, they played a crucial role in shaping commerce and finance during this transformative period. Through this image, we are transported into an era where money became intertwined with political ideology and societal change. It serves as a reminder of how economic systems can be utilized as tools for revolution and nation-building. Preserved within a private collection, this rare piece offers us an opportunity to delve into the intricate details of these assignats – their intricate designs, denominations, and symbols representing the birth of a new republic. As we explore this remarkable artwork captured by Ken Welsh from Fine Art Finder via Bridgeman Images, let us appreciate its historical value while contemplating the profound impact it had on France's path towards modernity.
