Dated back to 18 July 1790, this historic event was held to commemorate and celebrate the Fete de la Federation. The image showcases a lively scene filled with musical barges and jousting, reflecting the spirit of unity and festivity that characterized this significant moment in French history. The engraving, skillfully created by Jean-Louis Prieur in the early 19th century, beautifully depicts the grandeur of this celebration. The intricate details bring to life a panorama of boats adorned with musicians playing joyful melodies while spectators cheer from both sides of the riverbank. The festive ambiance is further enhanced by participants engaging in jousting matches, adding an element of excitement and competition.
