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.

I would just like to point out that he has dreadful spelling

Adieu , mon cher Desmoulins, (.....)

(...) soir, de moi chez vers(?) moi. deux derniers jours,
plusieur d'excellence chose fut publier et m'énerve de toi et fournit encore au (...)
adieux encore, gloire, (..)

Adieu, my dear Desmoulins (...)

(this passage is nuts, so bear with me, this is what I thought I could make out because his writting is crazy)
Last (I'm assuming that's what that symbol means) night(..) from me to me (?)
Last two days, many excellent things have been published (..) and annoy me of you (..) and deliver again to (name of something - I can't make that out)

Adieu again, gloire (..) I can't really make out the last part because he wrote on top of his own letter , but I'm assuming from what I can tell that he's saying someting like ''good luck, you'll need it'' kinda thing, I can't make out exact words, but the mood tell me such

I hope this helps!

The difference is, his is slightly more redable!

Awesome, Thanks!

[Norman Hampson's book Saint-Just said something about his bad spelling and wierd capitalization.]
