The plaque affixed to the Tree of Liberty reads, "take freedom and equality from us, the model of humanity."
The colour print by German artist Karl Kaspar Fritz depicts the French forces occupying the town of Zweibrücken while the Tree of Liberty was planted in Zweibrücken, Germany. French soldiers, identifiable by their blue, white, and red uniforms, are depicted as oppressors as they seize a peasant's cart, harass some young women and force a peasant to his knees. The plaque affixed to the Tree of Liberty bears a German inscription that translates as "take freedom and equality from us, the model of humanity." It is a sarcastic reference to the French claim to be liberators who opposed the monarchy in the territories they occupied.
