 Salut et fraternité citoyens,

So I was telling someone about some illustration of Robespierre I'd seen in which he's a vampire...but now I can't find it anywhere! From what I remember, it's Robespierre with fangs in front of a guillotine (or maybe several guillotines), probably some 19th c. British portrayal. I thought I'd even seen it on this community, but I can't seem to find it as I peruse the archives. In any case, I'm sure one of you has seen it and can direct me to the source.

Merci!

Thank you. That's what I was mithering on about. It wasn't the best of descriptions and I got the base drawing wrong.

amie_de_rimbaud did you mean the third pic down here. (http://www.angelfire.com/ca6/frenchrevolution89/robespierre.html) or something else entirely?

Sorry, not tech savy enough to embed pics.

While I'm mithering, if it's Robespierre in front of a lot of guillotines could you be thinking of this anon Thermidorian pamplet?
