Scope and Contents

Depicts seven flattened paper, seed packets with identical images om one side, a watering can and flowers; the name of seven leaders of the French revolution is a metaphor for the seeds, e.g., Robespierre, Saint-Just, Couthin, etc. On the other side of the packet, a tri-color ribbon is attached to the middle of a tombstone. These packets have outlines to allow cutting and folding to form a three dimensional seed packet. They are a metaphor to the events of the French revolution. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
