EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print captures a pivotal moment in the French Revolution, the Tennis Court Oath. Excluded from the National Assembly, the Third Estate, comprised of commoners, gathered at the Palais-Royal tennis court on 20 June 1789. Frustrated and determined to establish a just constitution, they took matters into their own hands. The print depicts a sea of determined faces, their hands raised in a solemn pledge, as they swear the Tennis Court Oath. This oath bound them to each other and to the cause of creating a new and equitable government. The scene is filled with a sense of urgency and resolve, as the men, dressed in various attire, stand united in their quest for change. The tennis court, an unlikely setting for such a historic event, serves as a reminder of the unexpected and transformative nature of the Revolution. This print offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of great upheaval and the birth of a new nation.
