Bréf du Pape en 1791 - A cartoon of a man in a blue coat and hat

Print shows a member of the Third Estate, with cockade on his hat and a big smile, using a Papal letter to clean himself after defecating on papers of Le Clerc de Juigné on the ground; Abbé Royou, with glass, and L-A. duc de La Rochefoucauld-d'Enville observe from the left. In the background, on a pyre, Pope Pius VI is burned in effigy; a bird and "VI" emerge from the smoke above a crowd of National Guards, sanculottes, and members of the clergy.
