PARIS HEADQUARTERS 1871. Address of the Members of the "GOVERNMENT OF NATIONAL DEFENCE". Thursday evening, January 5, 1871. - "THE BOMBARDMENT OF PARIS HAS BEGUN. The enemy is not content to fire on our forts. He is throwing his projectiles at our homes, threatening our homes and families. His violence will redouble the resolve of the city to fight and win. The defenders of the forts, covered with incessant fire, lose nothing of their calm and will be able to inflict terrible reprisals on the attacker. The people of Paris valiantly accept this new ordeal. The enemy believes to intimidate it, it will only make its momentum more vigorous. It will prove worthy of the Army of the Loire, which has driven back the enemy, of the Army of the North, 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. ..." - Imprimerie Nationale, January 1871. Poster (75 x 51) State A.
