La patrie est en danger. French political cartoon uses a scene from Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels to compare the situation surrounding the 1830 July Revolution in France to the time when l'Assemblee (the French revolutionary government) issued a proclamation on 11 July 1792 in an exaggerated response to a war threat. Print shows Lilliputians fastening Gulliver to the ground and rushing around in other activities. Hovering above the scene is a hot air balloon. Date 1830.
