Speaking of things most of us have forgotten (or never knew) re: #BastilleDay :
the #EiffelTower was built not just for a worlds fair,, but for one that was to honor the centennial of the #FrenchRevolution and the political and moral as well as technological progress since then.

Many small souvenir items such as #medals and tokens, made the connection

My favorite, though, has to be a paper knife with the handle in the shape of the Tower

Some of my small but charming souvenirs of the first official #BastilleDay#14Juillet celebration under the Third Republic in 1880:

#French Revolution 7/n

For Americans, this is #BastilleDay rather than just #14juillet or fête nationale. But most of us are also unaware that it was not a holiday even under some republican regimes & finally became the modern festival only during the Third Republic, in 1880.

A real souvenir of the storming of the Bastille:

small piece of bronze forged into a keepsake by one of its liberators, the locksmith Binet

#FrenchRevolution #14juillet #BastilleDay #numismatics 5/n

Builidng contractor Pierre-François Palloy (23 January 1755 – 1835), calling himself Patriot Palloy, promptly took advantage of the storming of the Bastille by assuming control over its demolition and selling fragments as souvenirs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre-Fran%C3%A7ois_Palloy#/media/File:Carnavalet_-_Mod%C3%A8le_r%C3%A9duit_de_la_Bastille_01.jpg)

Here, he adopts Andrieu's scene by using lead from the chains of the Bastille and adding a description to that effect. (1) An original (2) my bronze cast copy

14 July 1789: Fall of the Bastille. The great #medal by Bertrand Andrieu (1761-1822), which launched his career as a medalist.

The dramatic scene of the crowd storming the fortress was produced & reproduced in various versions.

#3 is from the workshop of James Tassie (1735-1799), known for his reproductions of ancient cameos & some modern medals. His collection was auctioned off in 1882; this piece from further sell-offs of the 1960s

A joyous #BastilleDay to all

and to my progressive friends in the USA, remember that there are ways to deal with a monopoly that pretends to be a duopoly and only supports the 1% at the expense of the planet and the people
