A new French bussing match, or, More cursing & swearig [sic] for the Assembly [graphic]Cruikshank, Isaac, 1764-1811, printmaker[16 July 1790]engA satirical representation of the fraternity shown at the Fête de la Fédération in the Champ de Mars on 14 July 1790. The central figure of Louis XVI embraces a group of five men, four of whom form two couples who are kissing and embracing. Weeping, the King says, "This is what I have long desired: my wish is at length accomplished. The nation & the King from hence foward will be but one." One of the men in his embrace responds, "Point de deux Chambres." One of another couple, in the act of picking the pocket of his friend, says, "Point de République." The other couple weeps, "I'll furnish tears to drown the King" while his friend adds "And I the Dauphin and the Queen." On the right a man wearing spectacles hugs a pillar, saying, "Vive le Roi. Vive la Nation Vive liberté."Title from item.Earlier state, with incorrect spelling in title. Cf. No. 7661 in the Catalogue of prints and drawings in the British Museum.
