Charlotte Corday, (1933). Creator: Unknown

Charlotte Corday, (1933). Portrait of Charlotte Corday (1768-1793). Corday, a Girondin, stabbed Jean-Paul Marat, a radical Jacobin, to death in the bath at his home on 13 July 1793, having gained admission on the pretext of having information about a Girondin plot. Her action provoked severe reprisals against both Girondins and royalists. Corday herself was guillotined on 17 July for Marat's murder. From "Gestalten Der Weltgeschichte", a book of cigarette-card portrait miniatures of figures in world history from the last four hundred years. [Germany, 1933]
