10 thermidor.

the sound you’re hearing is an 18th century execution call on the snare (played by my little brother!). this one is american, but a similar one may have played during the executions. the revolutionaries would, of course, not have been brought before the guillotine in their wigs and nice coats, but i drew them so to make them maybe a tad more recognizable. from left to right, it is georges couthon, augustin robespierre, antoine saint-just, and maximilien robespierre.

“Whatever your attitude may be to the French Revolution, do not forget that the name of Robespierre counts among the four or five that represent France in the Panthéon of all humanity. You therefore have no right to retain a false or superficial image of him.”

— Gerard Walter, Robespierre

I took a little bit of creative liberty in terms of the order of events and Saint-Just's unpronounced last speech. Anyways, Thermidor is upon us again...

8 Thermidor

Citizens,

Others draw flattering pictures to you; I come to tell you helpful truths. I do not come to  carry out the ridiculous terrors spread by perfidity; but I want to smother, if it is possible, the flames of dissension by the only force of truth. (I will reveal the abuses who tend towards the ruin of the patrie and which only your integrity can repress.) I will defend before you your outraged authority, and violated freedom. If I also tell you something of persecutions of which I am the object, you will not do me injustice; you have nothing in common with the tyrants whom you fight. The cries of the outraged innocence do not importune your ear. The cries of outraged innocence do not importune your ears, and you are aware that this cause is not foreign to you.
