Adieu Bastille. Published 1789. etching, hand-coloured. Print shows a man playing a bagpipe, behind him lies a lion on a chain which is draped over his right arm, his left foot rests on a game board, at the far end of which is a peg with string attached, the string runs through an aristocrat and a cleric and is attached to the man's left leg, the aristocrat and cleric dance on the game board as he moves his leg; in the background, the Bastille is being razed.
