EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment during the French Revolution, as Thomas de Mahy, Marquis de Favras (1744-1790) seeks redemption in front of Notre Dame de Paris on the island of la cite. The engraving by Berthaut after Prior showcases this historical event that took place on February 19,1790. In this powerful image, we witness the marquis making amends for his actions amidst a bustling street scene filled with curious onlookers. The crowd stands witness to his repentance and reflects the turbulent atmosphere of the time. As he stands before the majestic cathedral, one can sense both regret and hope in his eyes. The significance of this moment lies in its representation of an individual confronted with their own mortality and seeking solace within religion. De Favras was sentenced to death during these tumultuous times and faced condemnation as a result. However, here we see him attempting to find peace within himself before facing his ultimate fate. This photograph not only serves as a visual record of an important historical event but also encapsulates the spirit of change and revolution that swept through France during this period. It reminds us that even in moments of darkness and uncertainty, individuals have the capacity for introspection and growth. Preserved within the Library of the Institute of History Revolution by Prieur, Jean Louis II (1759-95), this engraving offers us a glimpse into a pivotal chapter in French history - one where remorse intersects with resilience against an ever-changing backdrop.
