Entitled: "Int矇rieur d'un comit矇 r矇volutionnaire sous le r矇gime de la terreur." Shows the interior of a room used by the Revolutionary committee during the Reign of Terror; citizens enter on the left and submit their appeals, then proceed along the table where judgment is pronounced by a group of revolutionaries; scattered around the room are revolutionaries holding long pikes, and on the right, overlooking the scene, is a bust of Jean Paul Marat and the bust of another man. The Reign of Terror (September 5 1793 - July 28, 1794) was a period of violence that occurred after the onset of the French Revolution, incited by conflict between rival political factions, the Girondins and the Jacobins, and marked by mass executions. The death toll ranged in the tens of thousands, with 16,594 executed by guillotine (2,639 in Paris), and another 25,000 in summary executions across France. The French Revolution was a period of far-reaching social and political upheaval in France that lasted from 1789 until 1799. The Revolution overthrew the monarchy, established a republic, experienced violent periods of political turmoil, and finally culminated in a dictatorship by Napoleon that rapidly brought many of its principles to Western Europe and beyond.
