Note 237 — PART I. (continued 2)
Reading edition
The date ‘An 1er de la liberté’ may possibly refer to the ‘Year One’ of the Republican calendar (1792), in which Mirabeau fell in a duel at Fribourg. But an earlier edition of the same caricature seems to have been published, according to De Goncourt in the Journal de la Mode et du Goût, in May 1790.
