Montmartre, last bastion of a certain 19th-century Parisian spirit, bohemian and libertarian, was still celebrating its legendary impertinence and mischief on the eve of WW1!
On 23 May 1913, the hardened Communards Dorgelès and famous illustrator Poulbot dressed up as soldiers for a memorable “Fête des Dernières Cartouches”, a final act of resistance set up by Poulbot before being kicked out of his atelier.
What remains of these lovers of the Butte Montmartre, a bellowing “army of Turcos, Zouaves, Marsouins, Garibaldians, canteen girls, soldiers' daughters” (J.-P. Crespelle), who marched in the atelier of the most Parisian of artists? Hardly a trace other than Dorgelès's moving Montmartrian memories written in his ‘Bouquet de Bohème’.
However, Le Feu Follet found one of the only photographs of this famed party, showing these gavroches painting Paris red before most of them fell to their deaths.

'Nose in the air, arms flying about, casually happy, as Willy Ronis says... black shoes, big hat, slim waist, skirt blowing in the wind, and not the slightest idea of what it's all for, but all the late April sunshine through the small veil... and like Paris, absurdly inimitable'
(Louis Aragon)
