| Description | This is a political caricature related to the Franco-Prussian War of 1870 or the Paris Commune of 1871. Within illus.: Café de la Renaissance. Caption: "Membre de la Commune. Longuet est le type de l'étudiant éternisé par le crayon de Gavarni ou encore mieux celui de Colline de la Vie de Boheme. De chaque café du quartier Latin, il avait fait un tribune. Là un bock à la main, sa grande pipe de l'autre et à demi caché derrière de gros nuages de fumer, il faisait frémir les dames de comptoi qu'il terrorisait en développant bruyamment devant elles, les théories socialistes, qu'il voulait, disat-il commencer à mettre en pratique à l'instant même. En 1867, Longuet avait débuté à La Rue de Jules Vallès. Sous la Commune, on le délégua à la direction du Journal officiel où il fit bientôt remplacé par Vésinier. Il est maintenant à Londres et c'est là qu'il a épousé la fille de Karl Marx." Caption (English translation): "Member of the Commune. Longuet is the type of student immortalized by the pen of Gavarni or even better, by Colline of La Bohème. Of each cafe in the Latin Quarter he made a platform. Here, a beer in hand, his great pipe in the other and half hidden past great clouds of smoke, he made the ladies at the bar tremble as he vociferously developed his socialist theories that he wanted, he said, to put into practice immediately. In 1867, he started writing for Jules Vallès newspaper, La Rue. Under the Commune, he was given the direction of the Journal Officiel where he was soon replaced by Vésinier. He is now in London and it was there that he married the daughter of Karl Marx." |
