June 19, 1789, is considered the beginning of the French Revolution. At that time, the members of the Third Estate, locked out of their room, adjourned to the tennis courts (seen here) at the Palace of Versailles outside of Paris, France. There, they took an oath not to disband until a constitution had been drawn up for France. The illustration is by the 19th-century French historical painter Etienne-Lucien Melingue.
