1844 1^ed History of the BASTILLE French Revolution Prisoner Torture Illustrated

A fascinating and important 1789 account of the infamous storming of the Bastille and the French Revolution. In July of 1789, French revolutionaries sought to gain control of the French fortress and prison – a sign of taking power away from the French throne. Authors Auguste Arnould and Alboize du Pujol published a highly detailed and impressive account of the prison and its symbolism during the French Revolution. “History of the Bastille” offers descriptions of prison escapes, the torture of prisoners, and the state of the prison throughout the Middle Ages, Renaissance, and into the late 18^th-century.
