Title

The Radical’s Arms. (No God! No Religion!! No King! No Constitution!!)

Description

From an English periodical of 1819, this antirevolutionary print portrays the sans–culottes as drunkards anxious to destroy by fire, gallows, and guillotine rather than to work for their own good. The image satirizes the idea of sans–culotte simplicity by arranging the two figures and the guillotine as an aristocratic coat of arms.
