"Among the talkers was Stryver, of the King's Bench Bar, . . . . broaching to Monseigneur his devices for blowing the people up, and exterminating them from the face of the earth" (p. 112) by Fred Barnard. 1870s. 9.2 x 13.7 cm (framed). Barnard dramatises the reflex action of the bloody events across the Channel — including the eradication of the royal family —by by showing Stryver's jingoistic response some three years after the mob's execution of Foulon in Paris at the Place de Grève on 22 July 1789. In contrast to Phiz's frenzied mixed male and female mob of threadbare Saint Antoine revolutionaries in "The Sea Rises" and Barnard's own realisation of that scene in "Dragged, and struck at, and stifled," the Household Edition's illustrator shows five well-dressed elderly exiled French aristocrats who have gathered at Tellson's discussing the latest events in their homeland with attorney Stryver (centre, fist raised) in Dickens's A Tale of Two Cities, Book 2, chap. xxiv, "Drawn to the Loadstone Rock," originally in the October 1859 monthly number.
