MÉNARD (Louis). Prologue d'une révolution,... - Lot 300 - Rossini
MÉNARD (Louis). Prologue d'une révolution, février-juin 1848. Paris, Au bureau du peuple, 1849. In-8, long-grained orange-red half-maroquin, spine with cold decoration, gilt head, cover (Lobstein).
First edition of one of the most important and lucid accounts of the 1848 Revolution and the massacre of the workers.
Published in the newspaper Le Peuple, edited by P.J. Proudhon, this edition is extremely rare, as the stock was destroyed in a fire.
Louis Ménard (1822-1901), writer and chemist (he discovered collodion in 1846), was severely condemned at the same time as Proudhon. Threatened with prison, he went into exile until the amnesty of 1852.
