REVOLUTION. Revolutionary poster, Club des Cordeliers aux Citoyens, [June 21, 1791]; Imprimerie du Cercle Social, rue du Théâtre François; 44 x 35 cm (one edge slightly trimmed without loss of text).
Proclamation by Collin, President, and Champion, Secretary. Strong protest against the order to disarm, when "the fatherland and public affairs are in the most threatening danger".
