French Affairs No.2. Storming the Tuileries. Patriots Who for Sacred Freedom Stood
Hand-colored etched caricature after Heath. 'The Patriots are led by a man wearing cocked hat and white blouse or shirt over his dress, holding up his sword and a tricolour flag: they are regular soldiers, partly-armed artisans and women, some with musket or sword, some with pikes. They advance rapidly against a cannon with regular troops in the background. In the foreground lie dead civilians, men and women; a wounded man waves his top-hat. In the background, behind clouds of smoke, are the Tuileries' -- British Museum Hand-colored etched caricature after Heath.
