While the medieval fortress and prison in Paris known as the Bastille contained only seven prisoners, its fall was the flashpoint of the French Revolution, and it subsequently became an icon of the French Republic. In France, Le quatorze juillet (14 July) is a public holiday, formally known as the Fête de la Fédération (Federation Holiday). It is usually called Bastille Day in English.   About me: We are specilized in antique and rare books, photographs and maps,  if you are collector also can see my listing of books in abebooks.com. vialibri.net.   Thanks for looking and please see the images:   See my other auctions for more great items!
