Text recto bottom:

Le jeudy 4 octobre 1792 Christine d'Autriche soeur de Marie Antoinette, épouse du duc Albert de Saxe-Teschen gouvernante des Pays-Bas autrichiens, est venu visiter les travaux du Siège, c’est-à-dire les forfaits de ses satellites. On a fait partir en sa présence une grande quantité de bombes, elle a voulu avoir le cruel plaisir de mettre elle-même le feu à un mortier. Monstre affreux ! Honte de la nature. L’Histoire ne retransmettra qu’à regret à la postérité de semblabes horreurs. Les tyrans ennemis croyant que par cette conduite atroce Lille serait réduite en cendre, mais la constance admirable des citoyens et de la garnison en a fait un peuple de héros. 500 maisons ont été brulées 2 000 ont été endommagées. Enfin après avoir vu tous leurs efforts inutiles les brigands autrichiens ont été forcés de lever le siège le 12 du même mois laissant une partie de leur grosse artillerie qui fut démontée par la nôtre reconnu supérieure dans cette guère de la liberté contre la Tirannie.

Frightful monster! Shame on nature. The enemy tyrants, believing that by this atrocious conduct Lille would be reduced to ashes, but the admirable constancy of the Citizens and the garrison has made them a people of heroes. 500 houses burned 2,000 were damaged. Finally, after having seen all their useless efforts, the Austrian brigands were obliged to raise the siege on the 12th of the same month, leaving part of their heavy artillery, which was dismantled by our recognized superior in this period of freedom against Tirannie.]

(Reusing this file)
This file might NOT be in the public domain.

It was previously considered to be in the public domain because it is a scan (or similar) by the Bibliotheque Nationale de France, but not everything scanned by the BNF is automatically in the public domain.

It is possible that this file is in the public domain for other reasons, for example because it was published a long time ago (anything before ca. 1900 is most likely ok) or because its author / artist / photographer died over 70 years ago and it was published over 95 years ago. In such cases, a new rationale should be applied, and a different license tag (see Commons:Licensing and valid license tags at Commons:Copyright tags) should be used.

If the file is not found to be in the public domain, it might be nominated for deletion (NOT by any automatic process, but manually).

See below for the previous rationale (not applicable anymore).
