Cette tete, que quelques promeneurs regar dent d'un oeil farouche, n'est point, ai-je besoin de le dire? Une affiche des opinions politiques du proprietaire, elle est tout bonnement l'enseigne d'un des-nids }es plus pleins de choses du' xvm siecle qui existe'nt a Paris.

About the Author:

EDMOND DE GONCOURT (1822-1896) and JULES DE GONCOURT (1830-1870) spent the majority of their lives in Paris. Having attended the finest schools, the Goncourts formed one of the most famous literary partnerships. After an unsuccessful novel and some attempts at drama, they began publishing books on various aspects of art and society in eighteenth-century France. Between 1860 and 1869 the brothers published six novels which they described as ""history which might have taken place"" and which were as carefully documented as their historical works.
