I am geographically challenged, and I really, really wanted a way to visualise what constituencies the members of the Third Committee of Public Safety ( July 1793 – July 1794) represented. So, this map was born.
Bertrand Barère: Hautes-Pyrénées
Jacques Billaud-Varenne: Paris
Lazare Carnot: Pas-de-Calais
Jean-Marie Collot: Paris
Georges Couthon: Puy-de-Dôme
Marie-Jean Hérault de Séchelles: Seine-et-Oise
Robert Lindet: Eure
Pierre-Louis Prieur de la Marne: Marne (hence the name…)
Claude-Antoine Prieur: Côte-d'Or (ditto)
Maximilien Robespierre: Paris
André Jeanbon Saint-André: Lot
Louis Antoine de Saint-Just: Aisne
PS: It’s fascinating and telling how many of them represented provinces in the north of France.
