EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage engraving from 1799 captures a captivating moment in history, titled "Member Of The Riding House At Paris". In this illustrative technique, we see a member of the new French aristocracy wearing a Phrygian or Liberty cap with a circular emblem. He boldly rides on the back of a French citizen, delivering an impassioned harangue to his fellow countrymen. The scene is set against the backdrop of Italy during the Romantic era. It evokes nostalgia for traditional and historic Victorian times when art was used as a medium for political expression. The image symbolizes the struggle between opposing forces - Russian Field Marshal Aleksandr Vasilevich Suvorov and the Arch Duke - who threaten to overthrow the French revolutionaries. The artist, William Holland, skillfully portrays tension and urgency through his intricate engravement techniques. The antique aesthetic adds depth to this historic artwork, reminding us of its significance in our cultural heritage. As we gaze upon this retro-styled print, we are transported back in time to witness this pivotal moment in history. The Member implores his compatriots from atop their shoulders: "Messrs. Of The Menage - I again ascend the tribune to endeavor to spur you on to action! The enemy has the whip hand of us". This engraved image serves as both an educational tool and an artistic masterpiece that allows us to reflect on our past struggles while appreciating historical art at its finest.
