[QUOTE="moreotherstuff, post: 224088, member: 56"]Victims of the revolution? The first is King Louis XVI and the event is the storming of the Tuileries Palace, which really marked the end of the monarchy. The second shows Marie Jeanne Phelippon, wife of Louis' Minister of the Interior, appearing before a Revolutionary Tribunal. (Brumaire was a month in the revolutionary calendar.) These are probably original, but later than 1792. Here's an eBay listing that says 19th C, but isn't more specific.

Both are marked l'an 7 de la Republique, which started September 22, 1798 - so engraved in 1798-99.[/QUOTE]
