Description
This French political cartoon from 1789 reveals a critical view of France's privileged orders. A naked common man, held in chains, is being ridden by an aristocrat, a clergyman, and a judge. The message is clear: Most French people (the third estate) are suffering horribly as a result of the privileges of the first and second estates.
