Commentary


Faisons remarquer la faute d’orthographe à l’exergue du buste du duc d’Orléans, faute qui fut retirée sur les exemplaires suivants.
Cette pièce et diverses autres, référencées dans l’ouvrage de Michel Hennin sous les numéros allant de 97 à 101, sont des preuves de la popularité dont jouissait le duc d’Orléans au commencement de la révolution.
Let us note the spelling mistake in the epigraph of the bust of the Duke of Orléans, a mistake that was removed from subsequent examples. This piece and various others, referenced in Michel Hennin's work under the numbers 97 to 101, are proof of the popularity enjoyed by the Duke of Orléans at the beginning of the revolution.

Historical background


LOUIS XVI

(05/10/1774-01/21/1793)

In 1789, events will accelerate and cause the fall of royalty. If on May 5, the King opened the meeting of the States General in front of 1,200 deputies (doubling of the third), in the face of the stagnation of the debates, the Third Estate proclaimed itself in the National Assembly with certain deputies of the two other Orders, the Nobility and the Clergy. On June 20, it is the Oath of the Jeu de Paume of Versailles. On June 23, the King wants to suspend the debates, (intervention of Mirabeau: "we are here by the will of the people, we will only get out by the force of bayonets"). The National Constituent Assembly is formed by the three Orders on July 9. The King dismisses Necker on July 11, but will recall him after the storming of the Bastille on July 14, 1789. Bailly is the first mayor of Paris, appointed on July 15. Following the Great Fear which spreads in the countryside, on the night of August 4, it is the abolition of privileges and feudal rights. The Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen is voted on August 26, 1789.
