MASSACRES OF SEPTEMBER. P.A.S. by DORAT-CUBIÈRES,... - Lot 202 - Rossini
MASSACRES OF SEPTEMBER. P.A.S. by DORAT-CUBIÈRES, commissioner, co-signed by commissioner Marnois, "to the Permanent Committee of the Section of the 4 Nations on the morning of September 3, year 4 of Liberty, the 1st of Equality" [1792]; half page oblong in-8. Extremely rare bread and wine voucher for the massacres. "Good for twelve pints and four loaves of bread necessary for our brothers in arms"... [Stanislas Maillard, the leader of the massacres, as the massacre was ending at Les Carmes, returned to the Abbey prison, with his men covered in blood. He enters the Committee of the Section of the Four Nations and demands bread and wine "for the brave workers who deliver the Nation from its enemies."] [The document is written and signed by the charming poet Michel de Cubières de Palmeseaux (1752-1820), who, after death had taken, as a tribute, the name Dorat-Cubières; he will be the lover of Fanny de Beauharnais].
