[Next Project] The Fall of Robespierre by Samuel Taylor Coleridge and Robert Southey

[ʗharlie ßowman]

Project Repository

Sources: Scans Transcript

This is the shortest of three dramas written by Coleridge (spreadsheet), about 6k words. The other two plays are too long to be included in a “Short Plays” omnibus (Remorse/Osorio being about 23k words and Zapolya about 22k words.)

For the cover, I propose The Fall of Robespierre in the Convention on 27 July 1794 by Max Adamo (1870).

OK, Lukas will manage with David reviewing.

The cover would be quite nice, unfortunately that link isn't sufficient
to demonstrate public domain status for our purposes. We need it to be
explicitly marked CC0; the Public Domain Mark 1.0 has a slightly
different legal meaning.

If you want to use that one you'll need to find a reproduction in a book
published before 1931. See
https://standardebooks.org/manual/1.9.0/10-art-and-images#10.3.3.7.

Yep, didn't notice that. My eyes saw "museum" and "public domain" and my brain replaced it with "CC0."

How about this?

• The Festival of the Fédération, 14 July 1790, on the Champ-de-Mars by Charles Thévenin (1792)

A tight shot of the Tribune where much of the dialog takes place.

[Lukas Bystricky]

I think that looks good! I've added it to the DB and assigned it.
