EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print, titled "L Accord" or "The Agreement," depicts an unprecedented moment in French history that took place in the year 1789. The image captures a meeting between the three estates - the clergy, the nobility, and the working class - as they come together in a rural setting for a communal meal and a toast to "la sante du bon Roi" or "the health of the good king." The scene is significant as it represents an attempt to bridge the deepening divide between the three estates, which was a major contributing factor to the impending French Revolution. The nobility and clergy, traditionally the privileged classes, are seated at long tables adorned with fine linens and silverware, while the working class, or the third estate, is shown gathered around smaller tables, dressed in simple clothing. Despite the apparent informality of the gathering, the power dynamics are still evident. The nobility and clergy are shown with their heads bowed in respect as they drink from elaborate goblets, while the working class raises their mugs in a more rustic fashion. The print also includes a backdrop of a beautiful, pastoral landscape, with trees in full bloom and a clear, blue sky, which serves to emphasize the harmony and unity that is being sought. The date of the print, 1789, is a poignant reminder of the short-lived nature of this agreement. Just a few months after this meeting, the French Revolution would erupt, leading to the downfall of the monarchy and the establishment of a new political order. This print, therefore, stands as a testament to the complex and tumultuous political climate of the time, and the desperate attempts to maintain the status quo in the face of mounting social unrest.
