Such events include: World War I (WWI), Napoleon Bonaparte in exile on Saint Helena, Joan of Arc on her way to Chinon, and many more Artist: Jacques Onfroy de Breville Important Added Info: Note that we were consigned nine different posters from this series (we don't know how many there were in all). We are auctioning those nine in nine separate auctions. Note that this poster has a tagline of Richelieu et Cinq-Mars (literally translates to "Richelieu and Cinq-Mars"). France's Cardinal Richelieu introduced Henri Coiffier de Ruze, Marquis of Cinq-Mars to court in the hopes that he would become a favorite of Louis XIII, and therefore grant Richelieu greater influence over the king. While the first part of the plan worked, Henri wanted more political power and participated in plots against Richelieu and the crown, which eventually lead to his execution in 1642. This poster is based on painting by Paul Delaroche and shows Cardinal Richelieu in a barge, preceding the boat carrying Cinq-Mars (and his co-conspirator Francois Auguste de Thou) to their execution.
