Excerpt from Centenaire de Voltaire: Fête Oratoire; Discours de MM. E. Spuller, Emile Deschanel, Victor Hugo
Une estrade avait été dressée sur la scène pour recevoir les orateurs, la commission d'or ganisation et les invités. Aux deux côtés, grou pés en faisceaux tricolores, les drapeaux de cette France que l'auteur du Dictionnaire philo saphique a tant contribué à former. Sur le de vant, une table couverte d'un tapis de velours rouge; autour de cette table, trois sièges. A quelques pas en arrière, un piédestal, couvert de fleurs et chargé de couronnes de lauriers et de roses, supporte le buste de Voltaire.
