Picspam as promised a billion years ago

Salut!

Today's a short picspam, but I think you'll find it interesting. More's on the way as soon as I find the time to scan and edit. Two big pics, the rest are linked.

Random questions: Does anyone know of any articles/books, preferably in English, about castration anxiety during the French Revolution? Any books/online resources, in French or English, dealing extensively with anti-Robespierre propaganda both before and after Thermidor?

Fragment of a letter from Saint-Just to Desmoulins.


Address on a letter from LeBas to his wife.


A page from Robespierre's private notebook. Two pages, actually.


Floor plan of the Duplay house (ground floor aka the 1st floor).


Floor plan of the Duplay house (1st floor aka the 2nd floor)


A really cool phrygian cap motif.

Thermidorian caricature against the two Robespierres and Saint-Just. (I don't quite know how to translate C'est ainsi qu'on punit les traitres. What does ainsi que mean?) Hot damn, S-J and Bonbon look super pissed and super angry while Robesy looks remarkably calm and Harry Potter-like.

Robespierre wounded. Salon de Paris 1912. Postcard in my collection.

...And to keep with the OMSB! theme, let's rewind to past picspams O, the nostalgia!: make sure you celebrate the biggest party of '94 with stylish accessories while looking awesome and pointing up at the sky. Notice the flowers in his other hand.

Oh, awesome! I actually hadn't seen three of those pictures before... (Which is pretty rare for me, when if comes to Maxime XD)

I know there's more out there. I just have to find them...all.

The pics are from Fleischmann's Robespierre et les femmes exept for the postcard and the Buffys, obviously. I've got the french softcover version and the english version, which only has a few plates.

That's interesting, because I have that book... I must have a different edition.

Do you have the hardcover version? Mine is the softcover with unfortunately no date. There are some plates, but most of the pictures are printed directly on the paper next to the text. The title page says:

Hector Fleischmann

Robespierre et les Femmes

D'apres des documents nouveaux et des pieces indedites,
avec 135 illustrations,
gravures, portraits, autographes, caricatures.

The version I have has very few illustrations, curiously enough...

The english version has just a few plates. Some bastard cut a plate out of my copy beforehand, so I just bought the French version to try to get it back...

Hm, mine is in French, though...
