EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history - the French Revolution of 1789. Depicted here are the determined deputies of the Third Estate, taking an oath on the tennis court at Versailles on June 28th, 1789. Their solemn vow was to not disperse until they had bestowed upon France a constitution. The image is an exquisite example of late 18th-century French line engraving by Pierre Gabriel Berthault after Jean-Louis Prieur. The intricate details and skillful etching bring to life the interior of this historic palace, where rebellion against monarchy was brewing. As we gaze upon this scene, we can almost feel the tension and anticipation that filled the air that day. The grandeur of Château de Versailles serves as a stark backdrop for this act of defiance by representatives who sought to challenge centuries-old power structures. This print acts as a visual time capsule, transporting us back to a period when ideals clashed with tradition and revolution loomed over France. It reminds us of how ordinary individuals can come together in pursuit of change and justice. Let this remarkable artwork serve as a reminder that history is shaped by those brave enough to stand up for their beliefs – even on something as seemingly inconspicuous as a tennis court oath.
