"Pictures of the French Revolution" is an ambiguous title which, in the ignorance of a particular content, immediately refers us to painting. However, the complete collection of the Tableaux historiques de la Révolution française is a chronological succession of important events of the French Revolution, each presented by a text and illustrated by an engraving.
