title: FREEDOM OF THE PRESS

subject date: 2006-03-23

caption: FRENCH REVOLUTION allegory of Freedom of the Press (suit of hearts): the woman writes freely under the banner of the Phrygian cap, at her feet two masks representing differences of opinion, and the Heroic trumpet. The hierarchy of the "Liberties" replaces that of the "Queens", also emblematically ousted by the new decks of playing cards in the model of the French Republic conceived by the publishers Jaume et Dugourc (Urbain Jaume, merchant, and Jean-Démonsthène Dugourc, draftsman), for the adjustment of even small daily customs to the new Republican society. France, 18th century.
