From the Alexander Christopher Collection.
On 3 May 1791, a new constitution was promulgated that reorganized the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth as a constitutional monarchy, investing greater power in the Great Sejm (parliament). Reactionaries both within the Commonwealth and without responded with hostility. On 27 April 1792, a group of Polish and Lithuanian aristocrats met in St. Petersburg with the support of Catherine the Great to establish a confederation to fight against the new constitution. The new confederation was proclaimed in the town of Targowica on 14 May 1792, giving the group their name. Within days, Russian armies marched into Poland. The forces of the Commonwealth were ultimately defeated, resulting in the Second Partition of Poland and the loss of more than half of the Commonwealth’s territory to Prussia and Russia. Descripción
