"General Reports: A Glimpse into the States General of May 1789" Step back in time to the historic year of 1789, as we delve into the captivating world of the States General. Carnot's remarkable speech in 1889 commemorating this significant event takes us on a journey through history. The room of the Glaces in Versailles witnessed his powerful words, echoing the spirit of those who gathered there a century before. Louis Tinayre's illustrations for "Le Monde illustrious" transport us further into this momentous occasion. Imagine lunching amidst battles at Versailles' castle, celebrating the centenary with grandeur and camaraderie. Tinayre's artistry captures both the opulence and significance of this commemoration. Honore Gabriel Riqueti, Count of Mirabeau, immortalized by an oil painting from the 19th century, stands as a symbol of leadership during these transformative times. His portrait reminds us that behind every historical event are individuals whose actions shape destinies. The King's speech marking the Opening of Estates General on May 5th reverberates through time, reminding us how pivotal that day was for France and its people. It set in motion a series of events that would forever change their nation's course. As we explore further, we witness March 1789 when three orders departed for Versailles—a crucial step towards assembling what would become known as Assembly General. This gathering marked another milestone leading up to May 5th—the opening session where hopes and dreams intermingled with uncertainty and anticipation. One cannot discuss these tumultuous times without mentioning June 20th—when deputies from Third State took an oath during Palm Game—an act signaling their determination to bring about change amidst adversity. Traveling back even further to October 27th, 1614 brings us to Paris' Louvre—a setting where General States convened under Henri III's watchful eye.
