Suwarrow giving the French Directory a taste of the knout!! |

Description |
English: One of the Directory, stripped to the waist, is chained by the wrists to a post inscribed 'Tree of Liberty' and surmounted by a bonnet-rouge (cf. BMSat 9214, &c). Suvóroff holds him by the hair and ferociously raises a whip to strike. He wears a fur-bordered cap (with skull and cross-bones as in BMSat 9387), tunic, cloak, and boots, and says: "This is the new Dance a la Carmagnole!" The other four Directors (see BMSat 9387), full-face, but looking sideways in horror at the Russian, wait their turn; one (left) kneels in supplication. They wear their official dress (see BMSat 9199); the cloak and hat of the victim are on the ground. June 1799

Notes |
(Description and comment from M.Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', VII, 1942) See BMSat 9408, &c. Suvóroff's successes in Lombardy were followed by his march on Piedmont, where he was treated as a liberator; on 26 May he entered Turin. |

[edit]This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. ![]() |
