montagnarde1793: (fraternite)
I'm  presently vastly amused. I don't know if any of you are familiar with Le Sueur's drawing of Capet's execution, but if you're not, you're fortunately about to become familiar with it, because here it is:

I know it's not a very good scan, but do observe that there are indeed two men kissing in the foreground, which I have circled in red so that you might more easily be able to locate them.

I found a mention of the drawing in this book, which on page 74 provides some interesting elaboration on the subject and its portrayal.

That's unfortunately all for the present, but I hope you found it sufficiently enlightening. ;D

Since the following appendices of Leigh Whaley's Radicals: Politics and Republicanism in the French Revolution might be of some use or at least interest to others than [personal profile] nirejseki, who requested them, I've decided to post them here.

Don't ask me how appendix six turned out to be so much smaller than all the others. -__-; I hope it's readable, at least.
