CONSPIRACY OF 9 THERMIDOR YEAR II. - Order to requisition the armed section of Bon-Conseil, issued to citoyen Jouffroy on 11 thermidor an II (July 29, 1794). Printed document signed Tourneur, Sergent-Major, and completed in pen, one page in-12 (approx. 175 x 115 mm). Rare piece. Tu te rendras avec un fusil ou une pique, le 12 prochain à 11 heures précis du matin à la place d'armes de la Section et de là, au poste de la Commune pour y faire ton service, de 24 heures [...].En bas la mention imprimée : La Loi t'oblige à faire ton service en personne. This requisition order is certainly linked to the days of 9, 10 and 11 Thermidor Year II (July 27, 28 and 29, 1794), marked by the fall of Robespierre, the end of the Terror and the execution of the great revolutionary and several Robespierrists (71 heads were cut off on 11 Thermidor alone!). Security had been stepped up in Paris following these events, at the request of the Thermidoriens (Robespierre's victors).
