Found a site with some very nice images of political cartoons from the time of the French Revolution. It also has links to other pages with similar collections.

Since a lot of people at the time were illiterate, this (along with public speakers, who risked arrest and could only reach so many people at a time) was how they got fired up.

IRENE ARLETTE TREMBLAY: Is it too much to hope the revolution may have need of a poet? I wield a pen even better than I do a knife. Dec 14, 2013 0:39:11 GMT -5
