Description
Documented account of the coup of 9 and 10 Thermidor. The heart of the volume are the 77 plates (period engravings, documents, portraits, facsimiles of letters, applied on strong paper) for first-hand documentation on those two crucial days which marked a turning point in the history of the French Revolution. On the title page: Soixante-dix-sept fac-similés d'estampes ert documents originaux réunis, décrits et classés par André Marty et précédés d'une introduction de G. Lenotre. Frontispiece with hand-watercoloured revolutionary panoply. Tirage à deux cents exemplaires numérotés: n. 94. Our copy is further embellished by an illustrious provenance: as evidenced by the beautiful Ex Libris of Prince Constantin Radziwill and the noble coat of arms on the spine, it comes in fact from the library of the Chateau d'Ermenonville
