Full textThe illustration has been a triumphant success in the XIXth century. The woodcut, the lithography, the etching, having illustrated the publications of the first half of the XIXth century, aroused the admiration of the collector. On the contrary, the illustration reproduced industrially by photomechanical process was often the object of the contempt among the connoisseurs. Why such a disgrace ? Indeed, the traditional illustrated book benefits from the prestige of the objet d'art, because its illustration is nothing less than a real work of art. The drawing reproduced by the photomechanical process was considered on the contrary as industrial good, without soul, nor artistic values. However, should the illustration multiplied infinitely by the photomechanical process be considered according to the traditional scales of the aesthetic values ? Are these always suited to the era of the mechanical reproductibility ? The illustration reproduced by photomechanical process, who has exactly the same appearence as the traditional illustration, is nevertheless intrinsically different from the work of art. The photomechanical illustration crosses allégrement the borders drawn to classify the object of art. The illustrated books published by the Marpon and Flammarion between 1880 and 1890 give a good example of it. .

Full textThis research about nineteenth century French illustration (2 books and 65 articles or catalogues) deals mainly with the synchronical system of French romantic illustration and with the diachronical genre of children's book illustration : the case-studies consider abcs, caricature, romantic books and sets of prints, children's picture books, posters and art criticism about prints. . . The art of illustration is presented as a new visual language, based upon the circulation of vignettes and upon conventional categories of images : types, sites and scenes. This romantic visual imagery, which appeared in book illustrations and journal caricatures or cartoons, survived at the end of the century within the art of the poster and other massmedia pictures, packaged in standardized visual formulas. However this turn of the century evolution of commercial imagery appears similarly within high art and thus is linked to the advent of modern art. At the time when romantic illustrated books started to become a market collected by connoisseurs, Manet and Seurat painted social types, sketched as they had appeared in les français peints par eux-mêmes. Thus romantic illustration played the role of an experimental language for nineteenth century artists. This thesis leads us to reconsider the distinction between high and low art in the advent of modernism : the unpublished essay, la cathedrale illustree, addresses the link between abstraction and picturesque romanticism and studies the symbolic site of the cathedral, from Hugo's Notre-Dame de Paris to Monet's series of Rouen cathedrals. My art historical research runs between the history of art and literature and the history of the book, and thus belongs to cultural studies : focusing over the circulation and transmission of images, it covers also the sociology of artistic professions, and the new business of illustrations and posters

Full textThe 18th century illustrated novel is not only a particular feature of illustration, it also reveals text/image relations. Indeed european booksellers and publishers commitionned line engravings and etchings, inserted in books sold avec figures (with plates) or collected in volumes. Without ignoring the 18th and 19th century bibliophily nor the rhetorical and linguistic perspectives comparing image with text (allegory, iconic system, iconic paradigm), the semiotic study underlines the visuel aspect of illustrated books, thus exploring links between looks, bodies and spaces in text and image, especially in tableaux (pictures) and scenes. Our figural study is an attempt to define the issue of representation at stake in those works and to grasp the workings of reader-spectator's imagination. We analyse four novels (Marivaux, La Vie de Marianne; Richardson, Clarissa, translated by the Abbé Prévost as Clarisse Harlove; Rousseau, Julie ou La Nouvelle Héloïse; Rétif de la Bretonne, Le Paysan perverti), the series of illustrations published in their editions in french between 1736 and 1788 (after Schley, Chevaux, Cochin, Gravelot, Eisen, Moreau le Jeune, Chodowiecki, Binet. . . ) as well as other images (Wale, Stothard, Johannot, Staal. . . ). The device of representation is based on a double space focusing on symbolic questions of the novels: Marianne's identity, Clarissa's virtue, reunion between Julie and Saint-Preux, Edmond's perversion. Letters and engravings in the illustrated epistolary novel belong to the montage (setting) of text and image, which shows what the text refuses or fails to express
Meizel, Laureline. "Inventer le livre illustré par la photographie en France : 1867-1897." Thesis, Paris 1, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017PA01H045.
Full textThis thesis is about the relationship between books and photography in France during the last three decades of the 19th century. It reveals what was at stake in this specific association for the diverse actors involved in its creation. Articulating multiple issues, a new object was gradually invented: the photographically illustrated book, that is a book discursively produced through combining texts and photographic images between its covers, if not on the very pages themselves. To this end, the thesis charts the boundaries and tendencies of the average production of photographically illustrated books between 1867 and 1897, building a corpus that reflects its extent and its ambitions. Through a systemic analysis, it demonstrates that books were neither the breeding grounds nor the main sites nor the main vehicles for the dissemination of photographic images in 19th century France. By showing the extreme diversity of the production, it argues that books have constituted an experimental ground where modalities of texts’ and photographic images’ associations were tested. Through this process, authors and editors progressively defined what would become the specific characteristics of photographic images as means available for illustration. Allowing publishers and printers to reaffirm their dominant position in the world of publishing, the processes of this appropriation is particular because of the very low involvement of the photographic community itself. Therefore, the thesis proposes a periodization of the links of photographers to the book, analysing its role in the statutory claims they made through time

Full textIn the Bibliotheque Nationale, in Paris, auction books catalogues are kept and also preserved: they are the basement of the present thesis. Book collectors, in their social condition, marriages, parents and locations, especially in the head town, are presented. Estates and royalties are evaluated too. Collections themselves are also presented, so in their global part than in their secular variations. Foreign editorial production, knowledge of European and nexs, which collectors used to study production are the aim of an analysis, so too the public auctions: books are very expensive. So we may say that collecting books is an advantage that only few could have

At first, we check the purchases, the preserving of books and estimate librarians’s aptitudes. Then, we are interested in valuables and understand the consequences of Revolution’s confiscations. The second part is primarily a statistical one. The book’s collections are listed according to their vocations and receptions of Mabillon’s project to reform studies. A lot of lists hand back their sizes and tittles. A third part shows the relations between religious libraries and French Enlightenment’s century. Legacies accross history and religion are expounded. A special part describes the impact of jansenistic controversy. Then we learn the ecclesiastics’s efforts of modernization and openmindedness for erudites, consumers, scientific news and philosophical writings. Finally, we check the balanced results of libraries’s state and take notice of their holders’s skills assessment

Full textIf popular almanacs are the most sold and read, other kinds are also published in the 18th century, initially and chiefly in Paris. It is a form of publication distinguished by a calendar, the annual term, new year's sales and a very little size. Each one deals with one subject, essentially frivolous poetry, history or science ; but their popular relationship is a discredit for this kind of books. They are often compiled, by rather youg and generally anonymous writers, to earn some money. Many booksellers published one, but only fitty or so are really active ; often, they have joined the trade-company recently and are without family support. Some lasting and profitable almanacs are published by rich printers and handed down from father to son ; but most of them, more precarious, are produced by rather poor booksellers. Most of them have only a yearly tacit permission, and the royal privileges, which assure periodicty and monopole, are eagerly fought for. Almanacs are produced at a low cost, printed in large numbers, sold cheap and rather quickly. The profit is allways interesting, because quickly gained, and can be important for the largest printings. To promote the sale, booksellers make active advertisings and take advantage of new year's gifts, especially with the bookbinding. Other sellers are involved, like "merciers", peddlers, stationers, engravers and bookbinders,who sometimes are themseves publishers. These almanacs are meant for, and sometimes read by, people of middle and upper classes. Some, like directories, diaries and handbooks, are interesting for children and useful for professionnal and practical information. The others assist and reffect spare time activities, especially games and theatre. They follow cultural fashions, and amuse with parody of popular titles. The almanac's production grows fast, its success based on following cultural actuality, including politics after 1789

Full textThis study explores the little known period of the twenties in the history of french children's books, between 1919, when the 1914 ban was lifted, and 1931, which sees the results of post-war initiatives to revitalise this editorial sector with such leading works as the first Pere castor albums. The thesis proposes and defines a new topic of study: not the work in its literary context but rather the book itself considered as a whole - the text, the visuals, the medium. The study's three objectives are: to create a document compiled from first hand research which evaluates and studies the output of the twenties taking into account the economic, editorial, technical, social, political, ideological, cultural and pedagogical climate of the time. To show how the components parts of the books - texts, shapes, materials, graphics and typography - were designed to meet the needs, tastes and presumed abilities of the young as well as educate them. To study the graphics and artistic merits of the books in detail. The first part of the survey deals with the background of the editorial climate - its difficulties and driving forces - and compares the output and the catalogues of 35 editors. The second part concentrates on the range of products available - from instalments to gift publications - researched from case studies taken from archives and libraries collections, and charts the development of cheap editions. The third part examines the crucial role of the visuals, particularly influential in the increased production of the album, at the expense of the illustrated book. The thesis comes to a conclusion about this critical time between a past era and a changing future, which sees the emergence of the shapes, structures and usages of children's literature, which are the precursors to today's books

In Debré's work, print is characterized by material effects (aquatint) and colour variations (lithography) ; print is also a meeting place with poets and writers (more than 20 illustrated books). After an introduction, this thesis produce a catalogue reasoned with 4 parts : 1 etchings, aquatints and drypoints 2 lithographs and silkscreens 3 reproduction prints 4 covers and illustrations by photomechanical techniques

This thesis aims at confronting the objectives with the reality of the corpus studied, spanning for a decade, centered on a given book series, Castor Poche, whose purpose has been to establish a link between picture books and adult literature. It analyzes the movement towards a legitimate textual content for a publishing house traditionally focused on the album : if image gives way to text, how does it happen ? Is it done well ? What does it mean for the publisher and how does he justify it ? This confrontation is studied within a given competitive environment, on the basis of available archives, data and statisticx, with a wiew to shedding light on one of the principal stakes in today's publishing world, i.

Full textThe Jansenist movement has been primarily, until now, the subject of analyses dominated by issues concerning literary history, limited in national historiographical aspects. The thesis focuses on a new approach related to book history. It aims to demonstrate that the partisans of Jansenism, in spite of their social diversity, can be regarded as a party, utilising printed matter as a basis for cohesion and propaganda. The organisation of this party is, above all, strategic. This is because it relies on a network of influential relations in competing powerful and controversial. The political and religious authorities understood its potential and realised that it was necessary to control the spread of its ideas. The Jansenists, with the help of their printers and book sellers, ensured efficacy of the publication and diffusion of their ideas. The Jansenists, with the help of their printers and book sellers, ensured efficacy of the publication and diffusion of their ideas. This thesis demonstrates precisely how Jansenism used printed matter to influence public opinion and how it can be understood in relation to the modern phenomena of mass media and mass circulation. The role consequently allowed the Jansenist movement to spread throughout Europe, particularly in the German-speaking territories and in Central Europe, in the seventeenth and especially the eighteenth century. Also during this period, the Jansenists made use of innovations in the technology of printed matter to futher perpetuate the diffusion of their literature

Full textSince the seventies, Georges Lemoine's work has become noteworthy because of the modern way in which he illustrates great literary texts (Le Clézio, Bosco, Tournier, Yourcenar, Roy, Wilde, Andersen, etc. ). The aim of this thesis is to show how these illustrations develop together with the texts and to show what graphic requirements are needed in the creation of the pictures. This thesis will therefore place the illustrator within the French publishing world, and then analyse the specific requirements for book illustration. It will also look at the various steps needed in the genesis of a picture, question Georges Lemoine's interpretation, and focus on the semantic levels on which the pictures have an influence. Finally, this thesis will point out the illustrator's thematic preferences and the peculiarities of his style, which are developed around the symbolic and allegorical levels of his chosen texts. This research is based on Georges Lemoine's whole repertoire of illustrations and on a large amount of private archives. Several questions arise: what does illustrating a literary text involve? Can the illustration become some form of literature in itself? What are the relationships between text and images?

Full textWhich images pop into the minds of Frenchmen when they recall their national history? Henry IV and his white panache, Joan of Arc in her armor, or Vercingétorix and his long hair. Where do these representations come from? How did they develop and with which narrative? This dissertation aims at studying the origins of these images : the spreading of the illustrated historical narrative in France from 1814 to 1848. Indeed, in these years, a true economy of the illustrated history book emerged. These illustrated narratives – these iconotexts – progressively clarified and strengthened a national history in image on which French identity was leaning on. The illustration of history developed interacting with other historical-focused media: theater, panorama, and especially history painting, standing as a model from which to set apart in order to find its own language. Over the course of time and publications, iconotextual patterns established themselves. Therefore, the illustration of history, spread through a larger and larger audience, contributed to the rooting of a national historical narrative into the collective psyche
Adam, Claudine. "La production imprimée à Toulouse au XVIIIe siècle (1739-1788)." Toulouse 2, 2009. http://www.theses.fr/2009TOU20036.
Full textThis study presents the production of Toulouse's printers between 1739 and 1788 when their number was reduced to ten. The study is based on the count of printed articles that have been preserved (books, brochures, posters, legal briefs, periodicals). A catalog including 3700 titles serves as the documentary base. The first part describes the world of book printing in its environment: royal legislation, its more or less strict application in Toulouse, the organization of the printers' and booksellers' guild, the characteristics of their social group (family, fortune, social status in the city). The second part analyzes production by category. Whatever the type of printed matter, the number of titles and the number of pages increased at an accelerating rythme, especially after the 1770s. Only the number of brochures began to increase earlier, from the decade 1759-1768. Books, which represented only 15,8% of the total, were mostly of a religious nature, and the proportion of religious books did not tend to lessen, which is different than in other French cities. They seem little influenced by Enlightenment ideas. More than half of the brochures and posters were public documents. The production of legal briefs is linked to several “causes célèbres”. Academic publications, almanacs and newspapers constitute the category of periodicals. The production by each printer is carefully and systematically studied. In conclusion, Toulouse appears clearly as an important French printing center in the Eighteenth Century

Full textThe depots are established to put together the books nationalized or confiscated from religious communities after their suppression but also from émigrés and condemned persons. This thesis is composed of four parts: 1 ° Organize the intlux of books in the depots : they are put up in strategic places, to facilitate the movements of books between former owners and future possessors. The types of work and the different functions determine the material organisation and the segmentation of inner spaces. 2° Actors and supervision of the project: former men of letters are employed by the public service of state education to make the inventories and move the books. As employees of the State, the payment of salaries is guaranteed and their skills acknowledged. The institutionalization of the depots retlects the political importance of the project of redistribution of the books. 3° Bibliography, an inherited science : the depots allow the transition between an operation of inventory to an instrument of perequation. 4° The destinations of the books of the depots: the function of the depots is to determine the best purpose possible, either by selling the useless books or by putting the useful ones at the disposaI of public establishments or organs of govemment. The books are shared out according to the institutional position of the future possessors

Full textLaurence Sterne’s Tristram Shandy remains an oddity, well over two hundred years after the author’s death. This thesis explores the relationship between the text and a corpus of illustrations to Tristram Shandy from 1760 to 1817. Illustrations that are offsprings of Sterne’s text are also rooted in each artist’s aesthetic response. Those images are moreover closely related to the book trade and changes in print culture in the last decades of the eighteenth century. The first part deals with the impact of illustrations, namely how those images migrate from a model to imitations and new creations. A fundamental pattern of circularity is established between the verbal and the visual to see how the images bear traces of text in a variety of ways. The analysis in the second part draws on the notion of variability, whether in format of the book or within the narrative. This thesis argues that prints which accompany the text deflect the reader’s interpretation and reception. Furthermore, there is a mutually mirroring effect on both the text and the images. Although a kind of perfect harmony between the two medium may seem appealing, text and image do not dovetail. The argument aims at pinpointing paradoxical features of that relationship, more so when it comes to illustrating a text as zany and fluctuating as Tristram Shandy

Full textThis work intends to study the poetics of wilderness, as a result of the dialogue between words and engraved pictures. Three selected texts are of major help for this work : the first used as a reference is Actes présumés de Saint Alban de Nant, engraved and written by Jean HUGO during the years 1967/1968 and produced in 1968 by PAB, who is a bibliophilism printer and publisher. The second one is Annoncer l'Amour, which is an anthology of poems written by P. A. BENOIT, illustrated by Jean Hugo with an engraving and published in 1971 by Rougerie. The third one is S'arrêter, poem from P. A. BENOIT and engraving from Jean Hugo. In this text, the illustration was made by PAB 1980. This work also refers to other works of Jean HUGO and P. A. BENOIT. This dialogue does not intend to connect – in a simple way – a selected passage with one or several pictures. It tries to harmonize them by using either religious, legendary and literary references or by underlining some hidden link between an engraving an deselected passage. Thus, wilderness is experienced with the spiritual background expected (escape from the world that has been perverted by the excesses of the industrial civilization) then within the creative act it generates

Full textThis work is the result of a process which has conducted me to meet Madame Roland in 1993 for a memorandum of maitrise whose theme was Madame Roland et l'éducation, then for a diplome d'études approfondies in 1994 : Madame Roland et son monde intellectuel. Madame Roland, born Marie-Jeanne Phlippon in 1754, has been guillotined in the age of thirty-nine in 1793, after a incarceration in abbaye prison in Paris. Although the terreur has given a tragic end to her life, her biography could be summed up with some common instructions on her protected childhood in the middle-class of Paris in the middle of the eighteenth century: catechism and convent friends, marriage with a similar estate man, Jean-Marie Roland de la Platière, birth of her daughter, Eudora. Her intellectual world, developed by reading philosophy, give some importance to imagination and sensibility her enthusiasm for revolutionary ideas, her secret love with Buzot, her politic frenzy during the last years when Roland became minister of the interior, give us evidence Madame Roland is a privileged spectator of an intellectual world which, in the history of occidental thought, constitutes a decisive moment ; the second half of the eighteenth century. She is above all an autodidact. Our choice here is the importance of education, philosophy and politics is very linked with her autobiography, as the expression of middle-class going to free herself from a society based on birth privilege and promulgate new values. Her memoires are the theatre of her intellectual world, and these source of information is so rich that into history of structures and her experience, she opens a way for a real history of auto formation stakes into feminine middle-class in France

Full textThis thesis was formulated as an investigation into the lake of works treating of iconic scripturality in trough the history of book and publishing, and also the absence of any definition of the category to regroup them equally within this discipline as in literature, history of graphism, semiotic, history of art. Our initial hypothesis is that this category relates to the “graphic book”. It is trough specialist in literature, either in an approach by writer or passing through a close study of visual poetry, that certain of this works have been treated, with lacunae common to the discipline. In order to usefully complete the research work, it would seem essential to take on board a pluridisciplinary approach, emphasizing the technical history. These criteria allowed us to differentiate within the domain of the graphic book, the (typo)graphic book, around the (calli)graphic, (dactyl)graphic, etc., and to elect to focus upon the first subcategory, so as to justify our second hypothesis, that of a convulsion, in reaction to the meccanization of this industry at the end of the nineteen century through the decade of 1980’s. The incunabula typographiae would find its response five centuries later in the (typo)graphic book as ultima typographiae.The first part consists of a theoretical identification of the (typo)graphic book. An historiographical investigation would analyses epistemological barriers of the critical treatment of our object whilst bringing to light our conceptual tools: the thesis of Johanna Drucker and Anne-Marie Christin. Subsequently, establishing an history of (typo)graphic book and then, the definition of a group of generic traits and typologies.The second section is made up of a research into the producers of (typo)graphic books, as seen through the prism of the authors. The first chapter is based upon history of literature and thus proceeds by literary movement. Bearing in mind, this method is prey to tween dangers. First of all, the strictly specific nature of the study, the graphic book, but not text, implies a technical approach but also genetical in the editorial sense which would rather favour from an editor’s angle. Furthermore, it appears that a certain number of authors of (typo)graphic books, quiet paradoxically were not accounted for in this first selection. So, this allows us to articulate two new hypothesis. Firstly the (typo)graphic book seems also to be typified by authors involved in a discourse around art and the changing nature of the appropriation of the later by the poets, in itself one of the causes of the development of our object. Therefore, in the second chapter it would be a matter of highlighting the common thread uniting the productions of Claudel, Segalen, du Bouchet and Tardieu to conclude with the form of literary appropriation of pictorial processes of the (typo)graphic books. Secondly, we shall propose an equivalence between their (typo)graphic books and the literate painting, basing ourselves upon their critical texts and transposition of art and upon the last thesis of A.-M. Christin. At the clothe of the second section, one is still faced by the same difficulties that the great majority of identified typographical books hasn’t being catalogued.The third part would comprise of an overview from the publishers’ perspective. A much more productive result will allow us to formulate our fifth hypothesis: the (typo)graphic book is above all a publisher’s book. The first chapter will concentrate upon five evolutions of this producer. In the last chapter, we shall examine more specifically the production of the “typographic poet”. We shall establish a causal link between the total mastery of the production chain of this worker man of letters and the fact he became the most important contributor of (typo)graphic book.Reaching its conclusion, the thesis seeks to constitute, a counter-history of the illustrated book or a complement of that of the creative book

Full textThe Saint-Michel monastery of Saint-Mihiel was founded by the SaintDenis abbey, on the request of King Pépin the Younger, after 755 and before 772, on the forested heights of the right bank of the river Meuse, at about 30 km south of Verdun. It was reinstalled before 824 on the edge of the Meuse and aggregated to the Saint Benedict order, reorganized by Saint Benedict d’Aniane on the request of the emperor Louis the Pious.In 954, the monastery is given as a dowry to the daughter of Hugh the Great who marries the Duke of Haute-Lorraine Frederick 1st. They are the ancestors of the Dukes of Bar, who also became the Dukes of Lorraine in the 15th century. The abbey remains linked to the Barrois until 1766, which is the date of attachment of the two duchies to France.It is one of the important Benedictine abbeys of the two dukedoms. It is part of the province of Lorraine of the Benedictine congregation of Saint-Vanne, created in 1604, which comprises about fifty monasteries in Champagne, Lorraine and Franche-Comté.The 17th century is a difficult period for the Lorraine and Barrois, involved in the terrible Thirty Years war from 1631 to 1661. The dukedoms and the Saint-Mihiel abbey recover from their ruins and get prepared for an 18th century that one could predict as a material, intellectual and spiritual blooming. What seems to testify, for the abbey, are its buildings that one can still admire in the 21th century, and particularly its magnificent library refurnished around 1775 and which still comprises over 6 000 books having belonged to the Benedictines.The reality is more balanced and complex if one gets interested in these religious figures from 1689, culmination of their spiritual and intellectual blooming, until 1790, year of the withdrawal of the religious orders in France. We are lucky to have their testimonies, the most important being the one of their scholarly librarian, from 1717 to 1756, Dom Ildefonse Catelinot
Gil, Linda. "L’Édition Kehl de Voltaire : une aventure éditoriale et littéraire au tournant des Lumières." Thesis, Paris 4, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014PA040119.
Full textUpon Voltaire’s death, a group of enlightened admirers of the patriarch founded the « Société Littéraire Typographique » with the aim of publishing a new complete edition of his works. This subversive and pioneering project, directed by Beaumarchais and Condorcet in clandestinity, was aimed at disseminating the texts and ideas of the Enlightenment. Despite the innumerous obstacles standing in the way of this subversive entreprise, the correspondents of the SLT were able to complete « ce cher Voltaire » and deliver to posterity, between 1785 and 1790, an edition in-Octavo in 70 volumes and an edition in-12° in 90 volumes. This complete posthumous edition of Voltaire’s works was a first in the French publishing, both for the luxury and the care which caracterized the realization of the book, « a masterpiece of typographical art » and the correspondence, in which we can see an image of the private man and his intimacy, beside his literary writings. The last volume, the Vie de Voltaire, is the textum and the link between these two parts. For Condorcet, Voltaire had transformed his life into a masterpiece, which the editors wanted to show to posterity for its political and moral value. In addition to its exemplarity, this edition raises many historical, philological and ideological questions related to book history, to the knowledge of the Voltairian corpus, to the major political and ideological issues portrayed in Voltaire’s writings in the very polemical context of pre-Revolutionay times, to the literary myth created by this editorial enterprise, and to the reception of his writings thus made public
Mathis, Véronique. "Louis Lafitte : un peintre d'histoire de la Révolution à la Restauration." Thesis, Normandie, 2020. http://www.theses.fr/2020NORMR081.
Full textAll his life Louis Lafitte (1770-1828) insisted on introducing himself, with pride, as a history painter, a statement which his artistic training fully justified. After an apprenticeship with the engraver Gilles-Antoine Demarteau, he was the pupil of Jean-Baptiste Regnault, a competitor and rival of Jacques Louis David's in the 1780s. Introduced by his master, he was enrolled at the Royal Academy of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture in 1784; his studies there were honourable: first medal in October 1788, and above all the grand prize in painting, when he first took part in the competition in 1791. This course of excellence earned him a place at the Académie de France in Rome, but he could hardly take advantage of this privilege, as the political situation in France was not acceptable to the Roman authorities. The population could not stand the French presence and in January 1793, it was mayhem; the Mancini Palace, the seat of the Academy, was burnt down and the residents dispersed. All of them returned to France more or less quickly; some, like Lafitte, took refuge in Florence until the neutrality of Tuscany was ruptured in October 1793. On his return to France, a period of uncertainty began: an official resident of the Republic until September 1800, he received modest compensation. His desire to return to Rome was unfulfilled as was his aspiration to become a history painter, as he was unable to obtain a studio, despite repeated requests. Nor did he enter the cenacle of artists regularly solicited by successive governments, but he sometimes gave timid signs of assent to the regime in power, from the year II to the Empire, where he received more important official commissions, such as the simulacrum of the Arc de Triomphe de L'Etoile for the wedding of Napoleon and Marie-Louise. His enthusiastic rallying to the Restoration undoubtedly shows the true face of Lafitte's political affinity. The result was a very official position as draughtsman in the King's Cabinet, which concluded his artistic career which is often difficult to reconstruct. For most of his life, he was not in the limelight, lacking public clients, he very quickly turned to a private clientele, which he obtained by using his title of a history painter. He was mainly asked to paint works in line with the tastes of the time, Pompeian interior decorations, or portraits, which we have little trace of today. A skilled draughtsman, he worked for print engravers, producing famous pieces such as figures from the republican calendar, but also for publishers of refined illustrated editions, very appreciated by the readers of the time. One thinks, in particular, of the luxurious Didot edition of Paul and Virginie, directed from beginning to end by Bernardin de Saint Pierre himself. In the publishing field, he earned such a reputation that he remained a book illustrator for a large number of 19th-century authors. He was also interested in the applied arts and provided drawings for both the goldsmiths and wallpaper trade. These were luxury objects, produced in small numbers but mechanically manufactured. As an artist, Louis Lafitte accepted the demands of consumer society, his eclectic career showed his constant ability to adapt during the revolution and although he is not remembered as a history painter, he succeeded in making a living from his trade
