Type de matériel :
7
Fascinated by the morbid, seduced by the macabre, as William Hogarth was, attracted by the sensational, inspired by clashes and conflicts, English caricaturists of the end of the 18th century apply themselves to perfidiously represent the bloodiest events of the French revolution. From the guillotine to assassination or execution, everything was susceptible to be translated into images in order to make the French revolutionary movement guilty and despicable.
