Cover: From the article by Gregory S. Brown in this issue, this image, "Holy Family on her Hips," depicts a royalist fantasy of Marie Antoinette flying away from the palace, carrying her husband and children to safety in the provinces, as prominent former-nobles and defrocked high clergy comment. Drawing on a commonplace of early modern popular culture of the good witch--a woman possessed of supernatural powers she uses to save her family--this engraving is much more characteristic of Revolutionary-era prints in its basic (and anonymous) line drawing and unpracticed water coloring, although its motif is of course less characteristic of historians' interpretations of the flight to Varennes. (This image is reproduced from the Library of Congress, Department of Prints and Photographs, French Revolutionary Prints Collection, call number PC5-1791.2b.)
