Broadside printing, approximately 42x26.5 cm (16½x10½"). 

The preamble and 17 articles printed in two columns, with two allegorical figures atop an arched structure. The Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen is a fundamental document of the French Revolution and in the history of human rights, defining the individual and collective rights of all the estates of the realm as universal. Influenced by the doctrine of "natural right", the rights of man are held to be universal: valid at all times and in every place, pertaining to human nature itself. A rare early printing, we are only able to locate copies of this printing, at the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris and the Musee de la Vilee de Paris.
