EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting engraving captures a pivotal moment in French history: the Speech of Louis XVI to the Assembly of Notables at Versailles on February 22, 1787. The scene is set against the backdrop of the Old Regime, a time of crisis for the French monarchy as it struggled to maintain its stranglehold on power. The Assembly, proposed by Charles Alexandre de Calonne, was convened to approve a new land tax that would affect not only the common people but also the nobles and clergy. In his speech, Louis XVI attempted to rally the support of the Assembly, appealing to their sense of duty and patriotism. However, the proposal for the new tax was not finally approved, marking a significant setback for the monarchy's efforts to reform the outdated financial system. The allegorical figures in the engraving, including Allegiance, Industry, and Frugality, underscore the symbolic importance of the event. This horizontal, color print, reminiscent of the Ancien Régime, offers a glimpse into a critical moment in French history, a moment that would ultimately lead to the French Revolution.
