Affiche (56 x 36 cm) sous verre, cadre boisé.(Mouillure, rousseurs, pliures et pâles piqures). Précieux exemplaire établi « pour le Gén[éral] Barras Député du Département du Var » avec mention autographe de Pierre-François Palloy, entrepreneur, démolisseur de la Bastille.La Constitution de l'an I fut élaborée par un comité de 9 membres de la Convention montagnarde. Reprise d'un projet de Condorcet qui tendait au fédéralisme, elle fut promulguée le 6 messidor an I (24 juin 1793). Cette constitution était éminemment démocratique: elle prévoyait l'enrichissement de la Déclaration des droits de l' homme et du citoyen du 26 août 1789, la consécration de la théorie de la souveraineté populaire, le droit à l'insurrection, l'instauration d'un régime d'assemblée et une décentralisation plus poussée. Le texte affirmait enfin que le but de la société est « le bonheur commun ». Un projet mort-né. Après le renversement des Girondins par les Montagnards en mai 1793, le texte fut sensiblement modifié dans un sens plus conforme aux idées jacobines. Élu député du Var à la Convention où il siège avec les Montagnards, Paul Barras (1755-1829) fut envoyé en mission près de l?armée d?Italie et dans le sud-est de la France, où, le 19 décembre 1793, il organisa la répression après le siège de Toulon. Directeur (31 octobre 1795), il fut un des instigateurs du coup d?État du 18 fructidor an V (4 septembre 1797) contre les royalistes. Après le coup d?État du 18 brumaire, Bonaparte l?obligea à démissionner et à se retirer dans son château de Grosbois.Chargé de la démolition de la Bastille, Pierre-François Palloy dit le Patriote Palloy, reproduisit dans les pierres la prison en modèle réduit « et en adressa le modèle aux ministres, aux 83 départements et à Louis XVI lui-même qui l'en récompensa » (Bellier de la Chavignerie et Auvray, dictionnaire général des artistes de l'école Française, T.22, p.196). Il fit également frapper de nombreuses médailles commémoratives des grands événements de la Révolution nommée « médaille Palloy ». En 1791, il est promu « héros de la Révolution ». Mais il ne s?arrête pas là et poursuit ses multiples envois de cadeaux. En 1793, une des pierres est refusée par la Mairie de Paris qui commence à se lasser de cet extravagant. Il est finalement accusé de dilapidation et est emprisonné du 28 décembre 1793 au 17 mars 1794. A sa sortie de prison, sa soif de notoriété n'est toujours pas tarie. Il se retire à Sceaux, où il organise de luxueuses fêtes, témoignages de son attachement à la Révolution, qui le mettent en faillite. Miséreux, il demande une rente pour service rendu à la Nation. Il meurt dans l'oubli en 1835. (Archives de Sceaux).

Fair. Closed tear extending 5 inches into printed area from left margin repaired on verso. Two areas of loss in upper left quadrant not effecting printed area of image. Scuffing. Size 21.5 x 13.25 Inches. This is a rare 1790 Pierre-François Palloy broadside map of the Bastille published as part of Palloy's brilliant contemporaneous merchandising of the French Revolution. Palloy recognized the significance of the Bastille as a symbol of the French Revolution. With the inspired idea that he would sell off the Bastille block by block, Palloy began demolishing the infamous prison on the night of its Storming. His entrepreneurship and promotional efforts not only made him rich, they also effectively cemented the Storming of the Bastille in the global imagination. The printed ephemera Palloy published to promote his demolition of the rebranding of the Bastille is thus of the utmost significance and rarity - this being just one of just 6 confirmed surviving examples. Palloy and the Bastille On the night of July 14, 1789, as the mob that stormed the Bastille moved on, the enterprising Palloy sent workers to the still-smoldering Bastille to begin demolition. Two days later, on the 16th, city electors formally awarded him the demolition contract. With nearly 1,000 workers on site daily for the subsequent 2 years, Palloy took apart the infamous prison block by block. Parisian society flocked to observe the historic work; among them, influential figures such as Honoré Gabriel Riqueti, Count of Mirabeau and Pierre Beaumarchais. Calling himself 'Palloy Patriote', he hosted grand balls on the prison's ruins, capitalizing on the public interest. Palloy let nothing go to waste - the stones, chains, and other parts of the prison were sold or given as souvenirs to government officials and the public. Among the items created were scale models of the Bastille (one of which he sent to each of the 83 newly created French Departments), medallions, dominoes, and card games. He even commissioned busts of Mirabeau and Rousseau carved from the Bastille's stonework. It has been estimated that Palloy produced some 25,000 medallions from the melted-down ironwork. Palloy's propagandistic promotion not only earned him a fortune, it cemented the Storming of the Bastille as a fundamental symbol of the French Revolution. A Closer Look The Bastille's 8 imposing towers dominate the image, each numerically indexed in the bottom corners. Over 36 locations are identified, with multiple shops, stables, and other locations keyed to the same number. Other identified locations include the library, the chapel, two drawbridges, the kitchens, and the governor's quarters. A short history of the Bastille written by Palloy occupies the space between the indexes. The Bastille The Bastille (officially known as the Bastille Saint-Antoine) was constructed between 1357 and 1380, during the Hundred Years' War (1337 - 1453), as a fortress to protect Paris's eastern approaches. It was an innovative design, with 8 towers overlooking Porte Saint-Antoine. Later, the fortress played a prominent role in French domestic conflicts, including the 15th-century Armagnac-Burgundian Civil War and the 16th-century Wars of Religion. The Bastille became a state prison in 1417, initially for nobility, but from 1659 as a general prison. 5,279 prisoners had been imprisoned in the Bastille by 1789. During the 18th century, the infamy of the Bastille grew as it became synonymous with oppressive government enforcement of political dissent. The Storming of the Bastille The Storming of the Bastille took place on July 14, 1789 (Bastille Day) at the outset of the French Revolution (1789 - 1799). After weeks of turmoil, tensions in Paris built toward a general riot, which the monarchy moved to put down. Parisians stormed the Hôtel des Invalides to capture the roughly 30,000 muskets stockpiled there. The mob discovered that the gunpowder had been moved to the Bastille for safer storage earlier that week. Thi.
