Paris (France)

First edition of this pamphlet, published supposedly following its reading in 1815.
A particularly violent and accusatory pamphlet against Bonaparte, warning a military son, ready according to the marquis to betray France and his king for an adventurer wishing once again to bleed France dry. The Marquis d'Albertas belonged to one of the most illustrious families of Provence; his mansion was built in Aix, on the square that bears his name today.

First edition of this extremely rare scholarly journal founded and directed by Paul Nadar.

["We believe we are advancing progress by further engaging the public with this entirely French discovery of Photography..."].

News of the day: Proclamation by the Governor of Paris, General Trochu "will not capitulate"; Military report by chief of general staff Schmitz: Prussian bombardment continues; Press review; text of L'Affiche rouge posted throughout Paris containing an appeal to the people from the twenty delegates of the Parisian arrondissements, the most famous being Jules Vallès; News from the departments; Prussian irony; Our provisions; Communications to the press; Correspondence; Miscellaneous news.
Two tears, one at head with slight touching of text and one central with minimal loss, otherwise good condition.
Adding to existing titles, more than 70 newspapers were created during the 70 days of the Commune. But press freedom was restricted from April 18, and on May 18 the Committee of Public Safety banned newspapers favorable to the Thiers government. The most influential newspapers then were 'Le Cri du Peuple' by Jules Vallès, 'Le Mot d'ordre' by Henri Rochefort, 'L'Affranchi' by Paschal Grousset, 'Le Père Duchesne' by Versmersch, 'La Sociale' with madame André Léo, 'Le vengeur' by Félix Pyat, 'La Commune'. It was particularly in May that the struggle against the pro-Versailles press gained vigor: thus, between May 5 and 18, 21 newspapers were suppressed. It is quite evident that the pro-Communard Parisian press could not be distributed in the provinces due to the vigilance of the Thiers government.

Le Siècle, subtitled "political, literary and social economy journal," is a French daily newspaper whose first issue appeared on July 1, 1836 and whose publication ceased in 1932.
Founded by Armand Dutacq, it represented under the July Monarchy the dynastic left opposed to Guizot. It was directed by Hercules Guillemot then Chambolle for the political section; Louis Desnoyers handled the literary section of the newspaper, to which many writers contributed including Charles Nodier, Léon Gozlan, Alphonse Karr, Jules Sandeau. Honoré de Balzac delivered his first edition of Béatrix there in August 1839.
Initially rivaled by La Presse by Émile de Girardin created the same day, Le Siècle quickly acquired a wide audience (30,000 subscribers in 1839) and prospered until 1848. Well distributed throughout the country to a bourgeois and liberal public, its circulation increased until it became the most influential of the French dailies of the time (35,000 copies in 1870).
From October 1870 to March 1871, it was published in Poitiers, then in Bordeaux. Suppressed by the Commune, it reappeared in Paris on May 15, 1871. After this date, it never regained the influence it had in its role as opponent.

The 'Mercure de France' originated as a French review, founded in the 17th century under the name 'Mercure Galant', which evolved to become a publishing house in the 20th century.
Under the influence of Rémy de Gourmont and Alfred Jarry, a literary review resumed the name 'Mercure de France' in 1890 and offered symbolist texts, notably by Jean Moréas, Ernest Raynaud, Jules Renard, Louis Dumur. Gradually gaining recognition, this review published both the greatest Parnassians (Baudelaire, Rimbaud, Verlaine, Mallarmé, Heredia, etc.) and witnessed the emergence of Jarry's Pataphysics.
The publishing house was born in its wake. It notably published the first works of Gide and Claudel, Colette, Apollinaire, and Georges Duhamel.
