Behind the enormous lithographic production of the 19th century, there is an entire world of specialized printers that this Dictionary seeks to introduce, drawing from the application files for obtaining the printer-lithographer license. To the information provided by these files, which are stored in the National Archives, additional details have been added from other sources: correspondence, bankruptcy files, invention patents, notarial archives, police records, print collections... Each printer-lithographer listed in this dictionary is the subject of an entry that compiles personal and professional data, supplemented by bibliographical and iconographic references.

Early years and family

[edit]

He was married to Marie Joséphine Delanneau. He is the son of André Simon Fernique (1780–1856) and Marie Eléonore Gillotin (died 1832). They were the parents of pioneering photographer Albert Fernique (fr) (1841–1898). At the age of 11, he left school to enter an apprenticeship with Étienne Mantoux (1794-1856), then did his military service and, for 4 years, he practiced lithography at the train of the equables. He then worked at Gabriel Aubert (1784–1847) – see Aubert & Cie (fr) – and Charles Philipon (1800–1862), had the idea of ​​printing drawings in black and white pencils. It was [Fernique] who was tasked with finding the means to succeed. Which he achieved after four months of testing." He asked that his participation as a combatant in the July Days of 1830 be recognized by the award of a medal.

Career

[edit]

In 1843, wishing to make the most of his experience, he requested the transfer to his benefit of his father's patent. He renounced it a few months later. Indeed, on September 4, 1843, Bailleul made a report in which he recognized his skills in lithography, but deplored his lack of education, advising, in conclusion, to refuse him a patent, but to give him a simple authorization for the personal possession of a press; he could thus continue to practice printing while taking lessons to improve his education. Without being exceptional, this type of decision is rare. Even though some lines written by the candidate show clumsy handwriting, a very embarrassed expression and hesitant spelling, one may wonder whether the decision was not influenced by the poor opinion that Bailleul had of the father and the good relations of the son with Philipon and Aubert for whom he worked.

The file of André Simon Fernique mentions a transmission to his son on February 21, 1851 but there is no file in the name of his son. In any case, it seems that Charles Fernique worked under his father's patent, in particular for the satirical production of the years 1847–1851, signed simply Lith. Fernique or Fernique et Cie. From 1851, the signature Lith. Ch. Fernique appears on an abundant and diversified production, often in chromolithography. In June 1852, he obtained a permit to own two intaglio presses for printing business cards, letterheads and reports, to the exclusion of any other work.

He printed satirical prints by Henry Emy (1820-1874)

  • Bric-à-brac caricatural: This series likely featured satirical and exaggerated depictions of everyday objects or situations, a common theme in 19th-century caricature.
  • Les plaisirs du jeune âge: This could be a satirical reflection on the pleasures and follies of youth, a recurring theme in many satirical prints of the time.
  • La ville et le village: Contrasting urban and rural life, this work likely humorously portrayed the differences between the city and the countryside, often highlighting the absurdities of both settings.

He also printed saitirical prints by Cham (1819–1879), the pseudonym of Amédée de Noé (1818–1879), was one of the most prominent French caricaturists and satirists of the 19th century. His humorous and sometimes biting works were widely appreciated in French society. Some of his notable works include:

  • Cham & Fernique (1856). Mr. Papillon ou l'Amour autour du monde [Mr. Papillon, or, Love Around the World] (in French). Cham (illustrator), Charles Fernique (lithographer). Paris: 41 rue Vivienne et 146 rue de Rivoli : Maison Martinet → Aaron Martinet (1762–1841). BnF cb400558049; OCLC 693217353 (all editions)[1]
  • Cham (Abt 1945). L'art de réussir dans le monde. Procédé simple et facile pour se faire jeter a la porte en fort peu de temps [The Art of Succeeding in the World. A Simple and Easy Method to Get Thrown Out the Door in Very Little Time]. Charles Fernique (lithographer). Paris: Maison Martinet → Aaron Martinet (1762–1841). {{cite book}}: Check date values in: |date= (help) OCLC 82692315 (all editions), 693217347, and 1038081484.
  • L'art de réussir dans le monde: A humorous take on the "art" of succeeding in society, probably offering satirical advice or anecdotes about social ambition and behavior.
  • Les tâtonnements de Jean Bidoux dans la carrière militaire: This work satirizes military life and the struggles of the titular character, Jean Bidoux, likely portraying the absurdities and challenges of a military career.

Cham also contributed to several almanacs, which were popular publications in the 19th century combining practical information, calendars, and often humorous or satirical content:

  • Almanach comique (1858): A humorous almanac likely filled with jokes, caricatures, and entertaining illustrations.
  • Almanach de la vigne (1860): An almanac related to wine, perhaps humorously reflecting on winemaking or wine culture.
  • Almanach pour rire (1867): Another almanac for laughter, filled with comic content to entertain readers throughout the year.

La Caricature, a forerunner of Le Charivari

[edit]

La Caricature, a French satirical monthly illustrated magazine, debuted on November 4, 1830, as La Caricature morale, religieuse, littéraire et scénique. Charles Philipon established it in reaction to the press freedoms guaranteed by Louis-Philippe during the July Monarchy. The publication showcased the works of notable artists such as Daumier (1808–1879), Gavarni (1804–1866), Monnier (1799–1877), Granville (1803–1847), and Traviès (1804–1859). However, due to the constraints imposed by the September Laws, Charles Philipon discontinued La Caricature in August 1835.

Daumier initiated his visual satire campaign, critiquing the bourgeoisie's shortcomings, the legal system's corruption, and the government's ineptitude. His depiction of the king as Gargantua resulted in a six-month imprisonment at Sainte-Pélagie Prison in 1832. Shortly thereafter, La Caricature ceased publication. However, Philipon soon offered Daumier a new platform for his work by establishing Le Charivari.

Croquades faites à l’audience du 14 nov.
(Cour d’assises)

Si, pour reconnaître le monarque dans une caricature, vous n'attendez pas qu'il soit désigné autrement que par la ressemblance, vous tomberez dans l'absurde. Voyez ces croquis informes, auxquels j'aurais peut-être dû borner ma défense :

1) Ce croquis ressemble à Louis-Philippe, vous condamnerez donc ?

2) Alors il faudra condamner celui-ci, qui ressemble au premier.

3) Puis condamner cet autre, qui ressemble au second.

4) Et enfin, si vous êtes conséqnens, vous ne sauriez absoudre cette poire, qui ressemble aux croquis précédens.


Ainsi, pour une poire, pour une brioche, et pour toute, tes têtes grotesques dans lesquelles le hasard ou la malice aura placé cette triste ressemblance, vous pourrez infliger à l'auteur cinq ans de prison et cinq mille francs d'amende!!

Avouez, Messieurs, que c'est là une singulière liberté de la presse!!


Fig. 111. — Les poires de Philipon, d'après la page publiée par le Charivari (17 janvier 1834).

N. B. — Les Poires parurent d'abord en une feuille autographiée (texte et dessins) signée : Ch. Philipon, et sous le titre de : Croquades faites à L'audience du 14 novembre.

The precise explanation: "The supplement attached to today's issue contains the four drawings depicting the progressive resemblance of the king, which Philipon submitted to the Court of Assizes to prevent his judges from conflating in a single proscription the different genres of the legal, animal, mineral, and vegetable reigns." Introductory text: "If, to recognize the monarch in a caricature, you do not wait for him to be designated otherwise than by resemblance, you will fall into the absurd. Look at these formless sketches to which I perhaps should have limited my defense:" Argumentative texts, accompanied by sketches: "This sketch resembles Louis-Philippe, will you therefore condemn?", "Then you must condemn this one, which resembles the first.", "then condemn for this other one which resembles the second...", "And finally, if you are consistent, you cannot absolve this pear which resembles the previous sketches." Conclusion text: "Thus, for a pear, for a brioche, and for all the grotesque heads in which chance or malice has placed this sad resemblance, you could inflict on the author five years in prison and five thousand francs fine!! Admit, Gentlemen, that this is a peculiar freedom of the press!!" Signature: "(trial of the newspaper La caricature) // Ch. Philipon" Person / Character represented: Louis-Philippe I, King of the French.

THE PEARS,
Made at the Paris Assize Court by the director of Caricature.

Sold to pay the 6,000 francs fine of the newspaper Le Charivari.

At the request of a large number of subscribers from the depart­ments, today in Le Charivari we present the pairs that will serve in our defense in the case where the caricature was sentenced to six months in prison and a 2,000 francs fine.

If, to recognize the monarch in a caricature, you do not wait for him to be desig­nated otherwise than by resem­blance, you will fall into the absurd. Look at these form­less sketches, to which I perhaps should have limited my de­fense:

1) This sketch resembles Louis-Philippe, will you therefore condemn?

2) Then you must condemn this one, which resembles the first.

3) Then condemn this other one, which resembles the second.

4) And finally, if you are consistent, you cannot absolve this pear, which resembles the preceding sketches.

Thus, for a pear, for a brioche, and for all the grotesque heads in which chance or malice has placed this sad re­sem­blance, you could inflict on the author five years in prison and five thou­sand francs fine!!

Admit, Gentlemen, that this is a peculiar freedom of the press!!

Continued

[edit]

Louis-Philippe endured relentless caricatures throughout his reign. Notably, Honoré Daumier depicted him with biting wit, as evidenced in his satirical work, "Louis-Philippe" from circa 1833. Another seminal portrayal is Charles Philipon's "Les Poires" (The Pears) from 1834, which artfully transitions Louis-Philippe from a sinister, jowled figure to a pear complete with leaves. This depiction carried a layered insult, as "poire" in the vernacular of the time also connoted a fool, amplifying the mockery embedded in Philipon's caricature.[2][3]

Le Charivari, the main French opposition satirical, published daily from 1832 to 1936, and then weekly until 1937. Le Charivari endorsed Republican causes following the French Revolution of 1830 that overthrew King Charles X, a Bourbon Monarch. The revolution led to the establishment of the July Monarchy under Louis-Philippe, Duke of Orléans, who was proclaimed "King of the French" rather than "King of France," indicating a shift towards a more constitutional and bourgeois monarchy intended to reflect a more representative form of governance.

Despite the establishment of the July Monarchy, which attempted to placate liberal sentiments, there was a significant growth in republican sentiment among the populace, who were dissatisfied with what they perceived as half-measures toward real democracy. French Republicans in this period advocated for a democratic republic, universal suffrage, and greater civil liberties. They were often critical of the limited voting rights, which were based on property qualifications under Louis-Philippe.

Influence of the 1832 June Rebellion:
Inspired by the death of General Lamarque, a popular military leader and a critic of the monarchy, the June Rebellion of 1832 was a failed attempt by Republican and Bonapartist forces to overthrow the monarchy. Although quickly suppressed, it was immortalized in Victor Hugo's Les Misérables and highlighted the ongoing restlessness and the demand for a more representative and equitable government.

Le Charivari, a French satirical newspaper established in 1832, and its related publication, Almanach du Charivari, played significant roles in the French public discourse, particularly through their satirical commentary on politics, society, and culture. During the turbulent periods of the 1830s and 1840s, these publications did indeed have an influence, although their support of specific political causes, such as the French Republican cause, was often nuanced and complex.

Key Points on the Role of Le Charivari and Almanach du Charivari:

  1. Satirical Commentary:
  2. Le Charivari was renowned for its biting satire and caricatures, primarily targeting the government, public figures, and societal norms. The publication used humor and irony to criticize the status quo, which often aligned with Republican critiques of the monarchy and conservative policies.
  3. Censorship and Press Laws:
  4. During the July Monarchy of Louis-Philippe, stringent press laws were enacted to curb political dissent, leading publications like Le Charivari to employ satire and caricature as a means to circumvent censorship. These artistic expressions allowed them to critique the government subtly and indirectly, supporting democratic ideals and freedom of expression which were core to the Republican agenda.
  5. Public Influence:
  6. The widespread circulation and popularity of Le Charivari meant that it had a substantial influence on public opinion. By mocking the government and highlighting the absurdities of political decisions and social inequalities, it helped foster a public discourse that was more questioning of authority and supportive of Republican ideals of liberty and justice.
  7. Shifts in Political Alignment:
  8. While Le Charivari and Almanach du Charivari were critical of the government and supportive of certain liberal ideals, their alignment with the Republican cause was not always straightforward. The publications were primarily liberal and critiqued the government from a broadly progressive standpoint, but they did not necessarily advocate for a complete overthrow of the monarchy until later in the period, particularly as the Republican movement gained more traction.
  9. Artistic Contributions:
  10. The contributions of notable artists like Honoré Daumier (1808–1879), who regularly contributed to Le Charivari up until 1860, were instrumental in shaping the publication’s political and social commentary. Daumier’s caricatures often depicted the struggles of the common man and the hypocrisy of the elites, resonating with Republican principles and garnering public empathy and support for social reform.

French Republican causes included opposition to limited voting rights, which were based on property qualifications under Louis-Philippe.

Excerpt

[edit]
The rise of press cartoons from 1789 to 1914

Although the Revolution led to the circulation of a large number of satirical prints – which mocked the nobility, the clergy, Louis XVI from his flight to Varenne (1791), Marie-Antoinette, foreign leaders who were enemies of the revolution, etc. – these drawings did not, strictly speaking, fall under the category of press cartoons. And until 1830, the satirical press was mainly written, rather than drawn. Thus, at the beginning of the Restoration and during the Hundred Days, Le Nain jaune (a newspaper created in 1814, which ceased publication in 1815) mocked the members of the “order of the extinguisher”, who wanted to reverse the achievements of the Enlightenment, the Revolution and the Empire, and the opportunists of the “order of the Weathercock”. It was from 1830, the year the newspaper La Caricature was created (1830-1835), that drawn political caricature developed. Two drawings that animalize or reify Charles X have remained famous: "The Greatest Beast Ever Seen" by Langlumé (1830), and the "Monarch Stake" by Decamps (1830). Against Louis-Philippe, we remember Honoré Daumier's "Gargantua" (1831), which earned him six months in prison and a fine, but also and above all Charles Philipon's "Pears" (1831), which were taken up by many designers, such as Daumier himself or anonymous people such as the author of the "Projet de monument expia-poire" (1832). But the law of 1835 made political satire more difficult, and it was the social satire drawing, with an entertaining rather than denunciatory tone, that developed in the middle of the 19th century, with cartoonists such as Daumier and Cham in Le Charivari (1832-1926) or André Gill in Le Journal drôle (1856-1933) and Le Hanneton (1862-1868). The fall of the Second Empire and the Paris Commune revived political caricature, particularly in the form of the caricature, and gave rise to religious satire drawings. It would seem that the first caricature of God dates from a drawing entitled "The Eternal Father" that Paul Klenck published during the Commune: God is a bespectacled old man smoking a pipe, with pockets full of bonds and railway shares. But religious caricature is above all anticlerical: it denounces the harmful influence of the clergy (Catholic hierarchy and monks, nuns and priests) in political and social matters, Christian dogmas, the Bible and even the morality of a greedy and lecherous clergy. In his drawing "Our Holy Father the Pope ("Let the little children come to me")" (1871), Paul Klenck shows the Pope in a suggestive position in the company of children.

The rise and decline of the satirical press

While drawing in the general press has been in decline “only” since 1945, the decline of the satirical press is older: it dates back to before the First World War. From the revolutionary period to the 1860s, illustrated satirical magazines remained rare, despite Le Nain Jaune then La Caricature and then, from 1832, Le Charivari. Illustrated satirical magazines began to become more numerous from the 1860s onwards, thanks to the fall in the cost of printing images, and perhaps in connection with the first liberalisation of the press regime in 1868. Thus, Le Hanneton, La Vie parisienne (1863-1938) and La Lune (1865-1869) were created, then, at the end of the Second Empire, La Charge (1870-1871), Le Grelot (1871-1907) and Le Trombinoscope (1871-1876). The number of these magazines, weekly or daily, and with very variable print runs and distribution, increased until 1899: at the height of the Dreyfus affair, there were a maximum of 28 illustrated satirical magazines in France (graph below). But since then, their number has fallen sharply: the development of drawing in the general press made specifically satirical newspapers rare.[7]

Notable offshoot

[edit]
Le Charivari should not be mistaken for The London Charivari, also known as Punch, a weekly British magazine celebrated for its political satire and sharp humor. Punch was established in 1841 by the journalist and playwright Henry Mayhew (1812–1887) and the wood-engraver Ebenezer Landells (1808–1860) .

La cour d’assises du département de Seine-et-Oise, séant à Versailles, a rendu l’arrêt suivant. – La cour, etc. – Considérant que l’opposition est régulière, – Reçoit Cruchet opposant à l’arrêt par défaut du 20 mars dernier. – Faisant droit sur son opposition, et statuant par arrêt nouveau. – Considérant que la question de compte rendu ne pourrnit être examinée par la cour sans remettre en question la compétence irrévocable ment fixée par l’arrêt de la cour d'asises de Seine-et-Oise du dix août dernier et celui de la cour de cassation le 19 octobre suivant. – Considérant d’ail leurs, que les articles incriminés re- latant les interrogatoires des prévenus et et les dépositions des témoins entendus dans les audiences de la cour d’assises de la Seine, des onze et douze mars dernier, renfermant ainsi, un véritable compte-rendu de ces audiences. – Considérant que de la comparaison des deux articles incriminés avec le procès-verbal dressé par les membres de la cour d’assises de la Seine le dix-neuf mars dernier, il résulte que le compte qu’ils contiennent, des audiences de ladite cour des onze et douze mars dernier, dans le procès, concernant Bergeron et Benoist est infidèle, qu'en effet les interrogatoires des accusés, les dépositions des témoins, les paroles pro noncées par le président et par le procureur-général y sont pour la plupart tronquée et dénaturés, que même on y prête au président, au procureur-général et à plusieurs des témoins des paroles qui n'ont pas réellement été proférées. – Considérant que ces infidélités ont pour motif de jeter le ridicule soit sur l’accusation, soit sur le président, et que d’ailleurs les deux articles dont il s’agit sont remplies de réflexions et de qualifications offensantes pour le président et le procureur-général ; d’où il suit que le compte-rendu l’a été de mauvaise foi, et qu’il est injurieux pour le président et le procureur-général. – Considérant que Cruchet a de son aveu signé lesdits articles comme gérant responsable. – Déclare Cruchet coupable d’avoir, dans le journal le Charivari, dont il est gérant, imprimé, vendu et distribué, rendu de mauvaise foi un compte non seulement infidèle des audiences de la cour d’assises de la Seine des 11 et 12 mars dernier, mais encore injurieux pour le président et le procureur-géné rai, ce qui constitue le délit prévu par les articles 7,16, de la loi du 25 mars 1822 ; 26 de la loi du 26 mai 1819 ; 11 delà loi du 9 juin 1819, et 14 de la loi du 18 juillet 1828, lus à l’audience par le président. – Faisant application de ces dispositions de lois. – Condamne Isidore Mathias Cruchet, en un mois d’emprisonnement et en 5,000 fr. d’amende. – Interdit pendant un an aux éditeurs du journal dit le Charivari de rendre compte des débats judiciaires. – Condamne ledit Cruchet aux frais du procès. – Ordonne en exécution dudit article 26 de la loi du 26 mai 1819 la destruction desdits numéros du journal le Charivari, qui pourraient être ultérieurement saisis. – Ordonne que dans le mois, à partir de ce jour, le gérant du journal le Charivari, sera tenu d’insérer dans l’une des feuilles dudit journal qui paraîtront, un extrait contenant les motifs et le dispositif du-président arrêt. – Ordonne que le présent arrêt sera exécuté à la diligence du procureur du roi, conformément à la loi. – Fait et jugé à Versailles en audience publique au Palais-de-Justice le lundi 9 décembre 1833 en présence de M.

Le Charivari,
NEWSPAPER PUBLISHING A NEW DRAWING EVERY DAY.

We give below, in accordance with the wishes of our judges, the operative part and the ruling of the final judgment that struck the Charivari. The judgment of our last judges is absolutely identical to that of our second judges, which was itself a reproduction of that of our first judges. So true is it that great minds think alike. As this judgment, however witty it may be, risks offering little pleasure to our readers, we have tried to compensate at least in form, what could be a little absurd in substance.

     Louis-Philippe, King of the French, to all present and future greetings. The Assize Court of the Department of Seine-et-Oise, sitting at Versailles, has rendered the following judgment.

– The court, etc.

– Considering that the opposition is regular,

– Receives Cruchet opposing the default judgment of March 20 last.

– Granting his opposition, and ruling by new judgment.

– Considering that the question of reporting cannot be examined by the court without calling into question the jurisdiction irrevocably established by the judgment of the Seine-et-Oise Assize Court of August 10th and that of the Court of Cassation of October 19th.

– Considering, moreover, that the incriminated articles reporting the interrogations of the accused and the depositions of the witnesses heard in the hearings of the Seine Assize Court of March 11th and 12th, thus containing a true report of these hearings.

– Whereas from the comparison of the two incriminated articles with the report drawn up by the members of the Assize Court of the Seine on March 19th, it results that the account they contain of the hearings of the said court on March 11th and 12th, in the trial concerning [Louis] Bergeron [(1811–1890)] and Benoist is unfaithful, that in fact the interrogations of the accused, the depositions of the witnesses, the words spoken by the President and by the Attorney General are for the most part truncated and distorted, that even the President, the attorney-general and several of the witnesses are attributed words that were not actually uttered.

– Whereas these infidelities are intended to cast ridicule either on the accusation or on the President, and that moreover the two articles in question are filled with reflections and qualifications offensive to the President and the Attorney General; from which it follows that the report was made in bad faith, and that it is insulting to the President and the Attorney General.

– Considering that Cruchet admittedly signed the said articles as responsible manager.

– Declares Cruchet guilty of having, in the newspaper Le Charivari, of which he is manager, printed, sold and distributed, given in bad faith an account not only untrue of the hearings of the Assize Court of the Seine of 11 and 12 March last, but also insulting to the president and the attorney general, which constitutes the offence provided for by Articles
7, 16, of Lhe law of 25 March 1822;
26 of the Law of 26 May 1819;
11 of the Law of 9 June 1819, and
14 of the Law of 18 July 1828,
Read at the hearing by the President.

– Applying these provisions of law.

– Sentences Isidore Mathias Cruchet to one month’s imprisonment and a fine of 5,000 francs.

– Forbids the editors of the newspaper known as Le Charivari from reporting on the court proceedings for one year.

– Orders the said Cruchet to pay the costs of the trial.

– Orders, in execution of the said
Article 26 of the Law of 26 May 1819,
The destruction of the said issues of the newspaper Le Charivari, which could subsequently be seized.

Orders that within the month from this day, the manager of the newspaper Le Charivari will be required to insert in one of the pages of the said newspaper which will appear, an extract containing the reasons and the operative part of the presiding judgement.

– Orders that this judgement will be executed at the diligence of the King's Prosecutor, in accordance with the law.
– Done and judged at Versailles in public hearing at the Palais of Justice on Monday 9 December 1833 in the presence of Mr. Salerai, King’s Prosecutor, by Messrs. Antoine Aimé Marie Lefebvre (1788–1866), Counselor at the Royal Court of Paris, president of the Assize Court, Louis Claude Mirofle (born abt. 1774),[13][14] Vice-President of the Court of first instance of the District of Versailles and Arnould Teissier, judge at the same court composing the Assize Court of the Department of Seine-et-Oise, who signed with Jean Marie Fontaine, Assistant Clerk.

– In witness whereof the original of this judgment has been signed by the President and the Clerk thus signed Lefebvre, Mirofle, Teissier, and Fontaine.

Founding of Almanach du charivari

[edit]

The Almanach du charivari was founded in 1860, borrowing "Charivarie" from the publication Le chirivari that ran from 1830 to 1835.

The Almanach du charivari was an annual collection of illustrations from the Le chirivari. Contrary to the magazine Le Charivari, the Almanach du Charivari – issued annually from 1860 to 1905 (46 volumes) – primarily featured light-hearted caricatures (French word), cartoons (dessin humoristique), and jokes (plaisanterie or blague) with minimal political content.

According to the Saturday Evening Post from 1883, the Almanach du Charivari is recognized as a quintessential French "humorous" almanac that has garnered notable attention from an English audience. The Post describes this publication as replete with caricatures that blend light-heartedness and risqué humor. The almanac frequently employs visual gags that navigate the realms of nudity and societal conventions, crafted by artists who deftly highlight the whimsical elements of human anatomy and social interactions. Although the humor is acknowledged as rich and diverse, the article suggests that the artists may exploit these themes with excessive zeal.

Three years after the July Revolution, Émile de Girardin,[e] as editor, founded Almanach de France, intended to replace in the hands of the people the ridiculous Matthieu Laënsberg who had for too long maintained superstitions and prejudices in the countryside; the Institut de Coëtbo (Institut agricole de Coëtbo à Guer), a sort of primary school of agriculture; the Musée des Familles, a publication imitated from the English, and which the Magasin pittoresque had already taken the initiative of in our country; finally the Panthéon littéraire, a collection in which the publisher had proposed to bring together in a limited number of volumes and at a moderate price the masterpieces of the human spirit.

From 1833 to 1837, the Agricultural Institute of Coëtbo in Guer (Morbihan) welcomed a hundred apprentice students. Hippolyte de Béchènec then Mr. Doncker, successive directors of the establishment, worked there to teach future agronomists as well as to modernize French agriculture.[16]

The Société nationale [National Society], in 1864, purchased Almanach du Musée des Familles from Société du Musée des Familles [Society of the Museum of Families] and merged it with the Almanach de France. The publications were combined and published as Almanach de France et du Musée des Familles.

The initial nominative inventory Récompenses honorifiques, insurgés de 1848 [Honorary awards, insurgents of 1848], by Monique Mayeur, Paris (2001), was dematerialized and encoded in 2020. This dematerialization was an opportunity to correct some typos and add new fields from the existing data (sex, formatting of the nature of the facts, date of death on if applicable, standardization of dates and place of birth, standardization of domicile). The files concerning the other insurrections than 1848 were set aside in the final classification plan.

Bibliography

Annotations

[edit]
  1. ^ a b "Les Poires" – There are three iterations of the four-sketch series: (i) an undated, unsigned pen and ink sheet presented as the original; (ii) a lithographic facsimile signed by Philipon, issued as a separate supplement on November 24, 1831, and distributed with La Caricature alongside a catalog of Aubert's publications; and (iii) an unsigned wood-engraved version released in Le Charivari on January 17, 1834, and again on April 16, 1835, to raise funds for the newspaper's fines, also sold separately for two sous.
  2. ^ 6,000 francs in 1834 was a considerable amount of money.
    • Average Income: The average annual income for a worker or middle-class individual during that period might range from 200 to 1000 francs. Thus, 6000 francs could represent several years' worth of income for many individuals.
    • Cost of Living: Essential goods and standard living expenses could be bought for much less than today. For example, rent for a decent apartment in Paris might have cost around 300 francs annually.
    • Big Ticket Purchases: 6000 francs could buy a small piece of land in the countryside or several high-quality horses (a good riding horse could cost between 150 and 300 francs).
  3. ^ Tout comme le terme plus ancien et démotivé de croquis, croquade désigne le fait de croquer, de dessiner rapidement sur le vif, à l'instar du dessin de Marie-Antoinette conduite à l'échafaud par Jacques-Louis David1. Sous la monarchie de Juillet, le terme a le sens de « croquis fait à moins de frais encore qu'un croquis »2, avant de prendre à la fin du XIXe siècle celui de « croquis spirituel librement, vivement enlevé.
  4. ^ a b Colombier, Jésus (fr), Raisin, and Carré refer to book sizes (see Paper size § Traditional French paper sizes). If 8 octavo, then the sizes would be 30.5 x 21 cm, 27 x 17.5 cm, 24.5 x 16 cm, and 22 x 14 cm, respectively. Les formats de reliure [The Formats of Binding] (in French).

  5. ^ Émile de Girardin (1802–1881) was a distinguished journalist and publicist. In 1831, he married Delphine Gay (maiden; 1804–1855), a poet, novelist, dramatist, and the daughter of French author Sophie Gay. Before her marriage, Delphine had already earned literary acclaim under her maiden name, Delphine Gay. Émile, who served as editor-in-chief of La Liberté from 1866 to 1870, also managed La Presse, a daily newspaper for which Delphine contributed from 1836 to 1848.

    After marrying Émile, she hosted leading figures of Parisian literature and the arts, including Honoré de Balzac (1799–1850), Alexandre Dumas (1802–1870), Eugène Sue (1804–1857), and Théophile Gautier (1811–1872).

    Delphine also wrote for Courrier de Paris under the nom de plume, Le Vicomte de Launay [The Viscount of Launay]. In 1843, under that pseudonym, she wrote the acclaimed Lettres parisiennes [Parisian Letters]. After Delphine's death, Émile married Guillemette Joséphine Brunold (1834–1892), Countess von Tieffenbach, the morganatic granddaughter of Prince Frederick of Nassau. The couple divorced in 1872.
  6. ^ Yves & Barret (active ca. 1870-1890) were French engravers known for their contributions to political cartoons and various illustrations for French publications, including La Vie Parisienne. Their partnership specialized in a technique called gillotage, a lithographic method where an image was either drawn or transferred onto a zinc plate, then covered with a resin that adhered to the lines. When the plate was exposed to acid, the resin acted as a resist, leaving behind a raised image that could be inked and printed. This method was widely used in newspapers as it allowed for seamless integration with type blocks, making it an efficient process for mass production of illustrations."
  7. ^ Mathieu Lænsberg or Matthieu Laënsberg, is a pseudonym historically used by the creators of popular astrological almanacs in Europe, especially in France and Belgium. These almanacs, attributed to Lænsberg, became widely known for their astrological predictions, weather forecasts, and general advice for the coming year. The fictional figure of Lænsberg was particularly prominent in the 17th through 19th centuries, with almanacs continuing to be published under his name even into the 1800s.

Note: The cartes de sûreté (security cards) mentioned in this document were issued during the French Revolution by local surveillance committees. These cards served as a form of identification for citizens, verifying their loyalty to the revolutionary government – showing their Republican credentials. Possession of these cards could offer citizens protection and facilitate movement during a time of heightened political scrutiny. A Carte Rouge (Red Card) during the French Revolution generally signified loyalty to the revolutionary government, particularly the radical factions aligned with the Jacobins. In 1793, during the height of the Reign of Terror, local surveillance committees – Comité de surveillance (Committee of General Security) – were tasked with monitoring citizens' political allegiances and distributing cartes de sûreté (security cards). These red cards were a mark of trustworthiness and proof of loyalty to the Revolution and its ideals. Section des Amis-de-la-Patrie (fr) [Section of the Friends of the Fatherland]: During the French Revolution, sections were administrative subdivisions in cities, particularly in Paris, and were often named to reflect revolutionary sentiments. "Amis de la Patrie" (Friends of the Fatherland) implies a group dedicated to patriotic, revolutionary ideals.
