Ô Louis, ô mon roi, circa 1791-1792 Rare... - Lot 156 - Coutau-Bégarie
Ô Louis, ô mon roi, circa 1791-1792 Rare counter-revolutionary fan, the double sheet of paper, decorated with a handwritten text in pen and ink containing counter-revolutionary couplets, including a "Parody to Marie-Antoinette/ Still Queen of France": "The oaths made to the beautiful Antoinette/ Never, never, will be forgotten". An important part of the verses is borrowed, with adaptation, from the famous play "Richard the Lionheart" whose refrain "O Richard O my king" had become a counter-revolutionary rallying song. Green silk fringe, the colour of the monarchists, on the border. Bone mount. The top of the plumes engraved. H.t. 31 cm-H.f. 12,5 cm NB: A similar fan was presented under the number 172 during the exhibition "Modes et Révolutions" at the Palais Galliera in 1989, see p. 195
