Original copper engraving (44 x 60 cm, overall sheet 55 x 68 cm). Very light browning to outer edges of margins, not affecting plate. From "A Collection of Prints. Illustrating the Dramatic Works of Shakespeare." published by Boydell, London, 1803.

Paru pour la première fois en 1791, l'ouvrage connut diverses éditions jusqu'en 1817, et les textes de Fauché, Chamfort, Ginguené et Pagès furent remaniés à chaque fois. Cohen indique pour cette quatrième édition que le texte de Pagès, déjà adouci dans l'édition de 1798, a été définitivement « dégagé de toute rouille révolutionnaire ».IMPORTANTE COLLECTION présentant une chronologique minutieuse du déroulement de la Révolution française. "Les Tableaux historiques peuvent être considérés comme la plus importante série commerciale de gravures événementielles sur la Révolution française, dépassant de loin les illustrations moins élaborées des journaux tels que Les Révolutions de Paris ou Les Révolutions de France et de Brabant" (Musée de la Révolution française, château de Vizille, 2002).
