- Abstract:
- A cartoon illustrating the first reactions in England to the news of the fall of the Bastille. On the right, the radiant figure of Liberty sits enthroned on the ruins of the Bastille. Kneeling on one knee before her, Louis XVI holds up to her his crown; inscribed below him are the words "A repentant monarch." Following behind him are six figures in chains, each clearly identified: Orléans and Necker, Marie Antoinette, two German counselors, and a figure suggestive of Mrs. Schwellenberg. La Fayette and the ranks of the National Guard bring up the rear. All around them are cheering crowds.
