Abstract:
A large naked monster sits astride a large cup, which is balanced on a dagger held in the mouth of a small sansculotte juggler who exclaims, " By Gar tis var heavy, O dear! O dear! It will fall!" The monster holds in his hands the heads of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. On his head five daggers meet at a point to form a cap labelled "Cap of Liberty." He grins showing sharp teeth, two labels issuing from his mouth, " Ca ira, ca ira, ca ira" and "Hold me well up or I will bit off your head."
