Dépositions des témoins de l'enquête parlementaire sur l'insurrection du 18 mars

First edition of the witnesses' depositions alone, from the parliamentary inquiry into the insurrection of 18 March.

Speckled calf bindings bearing the arms of Guillaume Pavée de Vendeuvre, spines with five raised bands with gilt dotted rules, black morocco title labels, brown morocco volume labels, year gilt at the foot, blind-tooled inner roll, pastedowns of curl on combed paper, comb-marbled edges. A very few abrasions, joints of the first volume weakened, one of them slightly split at the foot, first leaves of the second volume folded, very slight foxing to some leaves.

Bookplate of Hubert Heilbronn and label of Raymond Clavreuil on the front pastedown of the first volume.

Collection of the depositions gathered by the parliamentary commission of inquiry established by the National Assembly, chaired by Count Daru, to determine responsibility for the insurrection of 18 March 1871 in Paris, the starting point of the Commune.

One of the important works documenting the Paris Commune, from the libraries of Pavée de Vendeuvre and Hubert Heilbronn.
