HEADQUARTERS OF PARIS 1871 - Address of the Members of the "GOVERNMENT OF NATIONAL DEFENCE". Thursday evening, January 5, 1871. - "THE BOMBARDMENT OF BETS HAS BEGUN. The enemy does not just shoot at our forts. He throws his projectiles at our homes, threatening our homes and families. Its violence will redouble the City's resolve to fight and win. The defenders of the forts, covered in incessant fire, lost none of their calm and were able to inflict terrible reprisals on the attacker. The people of Paris valiantly accepted this new ordeal. The enemy thinks he's intimidating him, he'll only make his momentum more vigorous. It will prove worthy of the Loire Army, which has pushed the enemy back, and the Armée du Nord, which is marching to our rescue. Long live France! Long live the Republic!" General TROCHU, Jules FAVRE, ARAGO, Jules Ferry, Garnier-Pagès, Eugène Pelletan, Ernest Picard, jules Simon..." - National Printing House, January 1871. Poster (75 x 51) Status A.
