[Fête de la Fédération] - Lot 97
[Fête de la Fédération] Minutes of the Confederation of the Franks, in Paris, the fourteenth of July one thousand seven hundred and ninety. Paris, Lottin, 1790. One volume in-4, bound in striped paper, with the three colors blue, white, red. Handwritten label on the first cover: "To Monsieur / Monsieur Gelas sergent de la Garde / nationale du district de Vienne / département de l'Isère". Very interesting text that carefully details the days from July 10 to 24, 1790, and particularly the momentous day of July 14, 1790, during which the oath resounded, reproduced in full in the work: "we swear to be forever faithful to the Nation, the Law & the King, etc." Followed by the "List of gentlemen national guards elected deputies to the Federation", in which moreover appears the said Gelas, recipient of the work. It is probable that each "deputy to the Federation" received his copy.
