Scope and content

Item is a satirical print by Scottish painter and caricaturist Isaac Cruikshank, as published by S.W. Fores. The print depicts the Duke of Orleans, Philippe Egalite, holding an axe above the head of King Louis XVI of France while Marie Antoinette and the Dauphin kneel pleading for his life. The print is a commentary on Egalite's perceived betrayal of kinship and class by voting in the National Convention to depose and try Louis.
