Jacobin Meeting
A meeting of the Jacobins in the convent from which they took their name. A middle class, radical democratic club, also known as the Societe des Amis de la Constitution, it flourished during the French Revolution and, after several purges, became the tool of Robespierre during the Terror.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment during the French Revolution, showcasing a Jacobin Meeting held in the convent that gave this radical democratic club its name. The Jacobins, also known as the Societe des Amis de la Constitution, were a middle-class group that played a significant role in shaping the course of this tumultuous period. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to an era of fervent political discussions and passionate debates. The room is filled with individuals from various walks of life, united by their shared desire for change and reform. These gatherings served as breeding grounds for revolutionary ideas and ideologies that would shape France's destiny. However, behind the scenes lurked darker undertones. As time passed and power shifted hands within the Jacobin Club, it became increasingly controlled by Maximilien Robespierre during what history remembers as "the Terror". This period was marked by purges and executions as Robespierre sought to consolidate his authority. The composition of this photograph beautifully captures both the intensity and diversity present within these meetings. It serves as a poignant reminder of how societies can be driven to extremes amidst times of war and conflict. Preserved through time, this print from Hulton Archive allows us to delve into one of history's most pivotal moments – an era when ideals clashed violently against reality on the stage of revolution.
