New Revolutionary postage stamps

 On 12th November the French post office is to issue two new stamps in its "Great Hours of French History" series. The event depicted will be the women's march to Versailles on 5th October 1789.

(An interesting choice this one - I suppose the involvement of women makes the October March more politically acceptable; but it was still a particularly nasty and violent episode.....)
