EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history - the pillage of the house Saint Lazare in Paris during the French Revolution. Taken on Monday, July 13th, 1789, by an unknown photographer, this image showcases the chaos and violence that engulfed the streets of Paris during this tumultuous time. The scene is filled with revolutionaries who have stormed into the house, looting its contents as they assert their power against the ruling class. The crowd spills out onto the street, creating a sense of frenzy and disorder. Men can be seen carrying stolen goods while others stand guard or engage in heated discussions. The engraving by Berthaut after Prior adds another layer to this historical snapshot. It highlights not only the destruction but also serves as a reminder of how art played a crucial role in documenting significant events like these. Preserved within the Library of Institute of History of Revolution by Prieur, Jean Louis II (1759-95), this print offers us a glimpse into one small episode amidst larger revolutionary movements that forever changed France's destiny. As we gaze upon this image today, it serves as a powerful reminder of both our capacity for change and our potential for destruction when driven by passion and discontent.
