EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ninety-Three, the Fleur-de-Lys" takes us back to the tumultuous era of the French Revolution. Created by Charles Green in 1874, this engraving beautifully captures a poignant moment from Victor Hugo's novel "Ninety-Three". The scene depicted shows a commandant kneeling on the ground with utmost reverence before a green silk banner adorned with the iconic fleur-de-lys symbol. The commandant's gesture signifies loyalty and devotion to his cause amidst the chaos of revolution. Set against a coastal backdrop, we can almost feel the salty breeze as it mingles with anticipation in this maritime setting. The temple prison looms in the distance, serving as a reminder of the oppressive regime that once ruled France. Intriguingly, this print also features Madame Royal Halmalo holding an enigmatic weapon nearby. Her presence adds an air of mystery and intrigue to this historical tableau. With its meticulous attention to detail and evocative composition, Green's engraving transports us back in time, allowing us to witness a pivotal moment during one of history's most transformative periods. This artwork is not only visually stunning but also serves as a testament to human resilience and unwavering commitment even in times of great upheaval.
