Marche du Dom Quichotte moderne pour la deffence du Moulin des Abus

description

Summary

Print shows the Prince de Condé as Don Quixote on a white horse and vicomte de Mirabeau (Mirabeau Tonneau) as Sancho Panza riding on a barrel-shaped ass on wheels, surrounded by a ragged group of counterrevolutionaries forming Condé's army, riding to the defence of the mill of abuse, a windmill situated in the center background, topped with a bust of Louis XVI. The mill is propelled by gusts of flatulence issuing from an allegorical Fame without trumpet, dressed as a jester. Many prominent figures are numbered on the print, which includes a key, printed below, identifying the figures above.
