'An Incident in the White Terror, 1815', 1895. General Count Gilly in hiding in a peasant's house in the neighbourhood of Anduze in the South of France. The Second White Terror occurred in France in 1815 after the overthrow of Napoleon and the restoration of the monarchy in the person of Louis XVIII. People suspected of having links to Napoleon or the French Revolution were arrested, imprisoned and, in some cases, executed. Jacques Laurent Gilly, a general under Napoleon, was condemned to death in 1816. He stayed hidden at Anduze until 1819. By 1820 the political climate had become more liberal and Gilly was pardoned and had his rank and honours restored. A print from The Magazine of Art, Cassell and Company, Limited, London, Paris and Melbourne, 1895.
