| Description | Print shows well-dressed aristocratic women, children, some men, and members of the clergy digging and hauling soil in wheelbarrows in a effort to transform the Champ-de-Mars into a suitable place for the festival "Fête de la Fédération" on the 14th of July 1790 to commemorate the first anniversary of the fall of the Bastille. A member of the Third Estate is standing in the lower left corner, holding a shovel; he is singing a revolutionary song "Ca ira", as bits of the song appear throughout the print. Includes lengthly text printed below the image. |
