Légende
'Gaspard Graf Von Coligny', (1933). Portrait of French Huguenot admiral Gaspard de Coligny (1517-1572). Already wounded by a previous attempt on his life, Coligny was murdered in his room in the presence of the Catholic Duc de Guise in the St Bartholomew's Day Massacre on 23 August 1572. Afterwards, the massacre spread to ordinary Huguenots, initially in Paris, but later across much of the country, with Catholic mobs murdering tens of thousands of Protestants. From "Gestalten Der Weltgeschichte", a book of cigarette-card portrait miniatures of figures in world history from the last four hundred years. [Germany, 1933]
