Technic: Woodcut, colorit: black/white, condition: Perfect condition, size (in cm): 34,5 x 48,5, View of the city Moscow with the troops of Napoleon in the foreground. The 1812 Fire of Moscow broke out on September 14, 1812 in Moscow on the day when Russian troops and most residents abandoned the city and Napoleon's vanguard tro…ops entered the city following the Battle of Borodino. The fire destroyed almost the entire city of Moscow. The majority of Moscow residents left the city during August 1812. The catastrophe started as many small fires, which promptly grew out of control and formed a massive blaze. The fires spread quickly since most buildings in Moscow were made of wood. And although Moscow had a fire brigade, their equipment had previously either been removed or destroyed on Rostopchin's orders. When Napoleon retreated to a castle outside the city, his troops finally lost their discipline and began to loot and pillage all across Moscow. Woodcut from the French Republican Calendar also commonly called the French Revolutionary Calendar. It was a calendar created and implemented during the French Revolution, and used by the French government for about 12 years from late 1793 to 1805. The days of the French Revolution and Republic saw many efforts to sweep away various trappings of the ancien régime. The new Republican government sought to institute, among other reforms, a new social and legal system, a new system of weights and measures (which became the metric system), and a new calendar.The calendar is often called the ;French Revolutionary Calendar; because it was created during the Revolution, but this is somewhat of a misnomer. Indeed, there was initially a debate as to whether the calendar should celebrate the Great Revolution, which began in July 1789, or the Republic, which was established in 1792. Each day in the Republican Calendar was divided into ten hours, each hour into 100 decimal minutes, and each decimal minute into 100 decimal seconds.
