Liberty in Utopia. Liberty in France (BM 1987,0516.4 1), Satire with two contrasted scenes: on the left Britannia,  crushed by the weight of taxes as she staggers towards a grave that Time is digging, does not see that behind her the dark clouds are opening to reveal the arrival of Liberty and that a hand reaches out to sieze the mitre from a bishop's head; on the right Liberty reaching out to happy Frenchmen who kneel to greet her: Lafayette, on the far right, echoes his famous oath of loyalty to "la Nation, la Loi et le Roi" taken at the Fête de la Fédération on 14 July 1790 and his companions quote other mottos displayed at the Fête "Let us die to defend her, let us live to love her", "Under this defender, the poor man shall no more fear lest the oppressor should spoil him of his heritage", "We dread you no more ye subordinate tyrants who oppressed us under a hundred various names" and "Men are equal, it is not by birth. It is virtue alone that confers distinction".   12 May 1791

ユートピアの自由。自由の日 フランス リバティーの到着を知らせる暗雲が見えず、司教の頭からミトラをく手が届くのを目撃する。右のリバティーは、彼女に挨拶するためにひざまずいた幸せなフランス人に届く。ラファイエットは、右端で「ラ・ネーション、ラ・L・ル」への忠誠の誓いを繰り返している。栄誉を与えるのは美徳だけです。 1791年5月12日 手彩色のエッチング
