Watercolors of Lazare Carnot and Prieur de la Côte d’Or I made last month for the delightful @aedesluminis 🙂↕️
(They were made as a gift, which explains why I had zero references for Prieur.. please do not throw me off a cliff)
The part of the faisceau de licteur was inspired by an existing Carnot stamp

Prieur's admission to Dijon Academy of Science
On 5 June 1790 Claude-Antoine Prieur sent to the Dijon Academy of Science a manuscript called "Moyens par lesquels on pourrait approprier nos monnoyes [sic] à un nouveau système métrique" (1) in order to submit his application for becoming a member of said institution. The document, meant as an appendix to his previous work on a possible reform of the metric system, explained how to adapt the decimal scale to France's monetary system of the time.
A month later, on 5 June 1790, Pierre Jacotot, one of the two commissaries (2) tasked with judging Prieur's work, made a full report of it and the young 26 years old Claude-Antoine, was elected as associate member following the vote that took place among the present members at the end of the session.
What follows is a translation of the acknowledgement speech he made on 18 November 1790 at the Academy and the academy president’s subsequent reply. Both texts show a rather peculiar portrait of Prieur, different from the usual adjectives - shy, introvert, awkward, not particularly brilliant - used to describe him by the few historians that ever talked about him.
It has been several months since you accepted me as a member of your illustrious institution; the circumstances have not allowed me to prove my gratitude yet. I am here today to fulfil this task. Even though I was favoured seemingly for my consummated talent, I have no illusions. For a man of my age it can only be considered as an encouragement to inspire emulation and I will commit myself to deserve it. Indubitably, it is flattering to be part of a rightfully famous academy, which has given so many contributions to science and literature, which includes men of superior genius and merit among its members, in a word, which made itself very useful to be country where it was established, spreading there the light of reason, whose influence on the happiness of the entire society is so evident: but such titles of glory are none other than an obligation to make oneself worthy of them. Destined by status to serve my country in the army, in a corps, where military service is above all, in many aspects, linked to scientific culture, I decided to devote my leisure time to the latter and, in this perspective, the interaction with skilled teachers and the enjoyment of all the aids that the Academy gives to education (3) contribute even more in increasing the value I attribute to being received [as a member of the Academy]. There is one last consideration that makes my acceptance so dear to me, the French nation in this moment is regenerating itself through a Constitution based on the immutable principles of reason and justice; equality, liberty, so favourable to friendship and the progress of human intellect, strengthen the bonds of fraternity among all citizens; therefore I wish more ardently than ever anything that can bring me closer to my compatriots and I will be so happy If I can be of any use to them. These are, Messieurs, my feelings; I dare to hope that they will be worthy of being accepted; they are simply the proof of my respect, gratefulness and complete devotion.
Claude Picardet’s - the president - reply:
Monsieur, the Academy, always careful to identify those touched by the love for letters and knowledge, did not wait for you to express the desire to be part of it in order to wish that itself. For a long time the Academy has known of your devotion to science and how much you take it further, not limiting it to the mere name that describes the noble professions you exercise, proof of which is the erudite memoir which you presented to us and to which we applauded. Be thus assured, Monsieur, of all the satisfaction we feel in having you seated among us. This company, by associating you to its works, hopes that yours will help in keeping its name high and the esteem gained among scholars, even foreign ones. Such a honourable feeling would slow the moment the works of the Academy did as well, works that the institution had announced to be willing to pursue and that were promised to be useful and beneficial. But what I want to add, Monsieur, among the reasons that determined your welcome here, there is the knowledge of your character; there is your sweetness and amenity; there is that fine intellect, that sense of righteousness, so evident both in your conduct and conversations. These qualities, of which one cannot have enough in a society of men of letters, seem to me an excellent addition to your talents; qualities that will suffice whenever I would have to remind here, in the various function that I exercise, the love of concord and peace, the reciprocity of glances and attentions and, at the same time, the dedication towards work. Monsieur, in this reply to your speech, by mentioning the qualities that distinguish you, I named those of a true Academician.
— P. Gaffarel, Prieur de la Côte-d’Or, 1900, p. 14-16

(1) The full name of the work is “Moyens par lesquels on pourrait approprier nos monnoyes à un nouveau système métrique, proposé pour les mesures d'étendue et de pesanteur, et établi de telle manière que toutes ces mesures, leurs multiples et leurs sous-multiples, forment toujours une échelle de divisions décimales.”
(2) The other commissary was Louis-Bernard Guyton.
(3) The Academy of Dijon offered drawing and science courses.

Een ReisKunst-aflevering, óftewel St.Paul en de Kunst van het Leven
Het grijpen van het moment, je intuïtie volgen, zelf een kantelpunt in je leven veroorzaken. Vaag? Nee hoor, lees maar in mijn TOOS&ART van deze week hoe concreet dat voor mij werd in Saint-Paul-de-Vence. #kunst #art #expo
Terwijl levensgezel vorige maand in de Rue Grande deze foto maakte, flitste door mij heen “dit wordt een nieuwe ReisKunst-aflevering “. Die serie nogal onregelmatig verschijnende verhalen over schilderijen die ik maak(te) en die gekoppeld zijn aan plekken op onze aardbol waaraan ik op mijn reizen inspiratie ontleen(de). Zoals bijvoorbeeld dat verhaal over het Jordaanse Petra en de voetjesvrijende…

Here are some companies that strongly support Israel (but are not Boycott targets). There is no ethical consumption under capitalism and boycotting is a political strategy - not a moral one. If you did try to boycott every supporter of Israel you would struggle to survive because every major company supports Israel (as a result of attempting to keep the US economy afloat), that being said, the ones that are being boycotted by masses and not already on the organic boycott list are coloured red.

Second in the Mapping the CPS series: a map of Ancien Regime France with the places of birth of our notorious third CPS. On the side, you can see a timeline with the date of birth of each of the members.
Some fun facts:
The average age of the Committee of Public Safety in July 1793 was 37, with Lindet being the oldest at 47 and Saint-Just the youngest at 25.
Couthon and Prieur (Cote d'Or) share a birthday on the 22 of December.
Three of the members (Lindet, Robespierre and Carnot) were born in May (so the CPS has 3 birthdays coming up!)
The only deputy of Paris that was actually born in Paris was Collot.
I'm surprised Billaud-Varenne wasn't sent on mission to the West (instead of Prieur de Marne and Saint-André) since he was born in La Rochelle, had family there and lived there until he was 26.
Saint-André shares a birthplace with Olympe de Gouges (a rather small town called Montauban)
Where all the members were born:
Robert Lindet: Bernay
Jean-Marie Collot d'Herbois: Paris
André Jeanbon Saint-André: Montauban
Lazare Carnot: Nolay
Bertrand Barère:Tarbes
Georges Couthon: Orcet
Jacques Billaud-Varenne: La Rochelle
Pierre-Louis Prieur de la Marne: Sommesous
Maximilien Robespierre: Arras
Marie-Jean Hérault de Séchelles: Paris
Claude-Antoine Prieur de la Côte-d’Or: Auxonne
Louis Antoine Saint-Just: Decize

A 1794 newspaper article on a very young Junot
Courier patriotique des départements de l'Isère, des Alpes et du Mont-Blanc, ou l'Ami d'égalité, 24th October 1794:
“Citizen Junot, of the Côte-d’or department, aide-de-camp of artillery general Bonnaperre [sic], returning to an artillery division, to whom he had given the order to advance, gave a point-blank discharge to an enemy party: he dismounted, pursued an Austrian, to whom he fired a pistol shot which pierced his thigh, and made him a prisoner in the midst of the enemy.”

At times in the writing of wine history, wine itself has been treated as a historical actor. This is the case in many of the sweeping histories of wine, such as Hugh Johnson’s original Vintage: The Story of Wine, Paul Lukacs’s recent Inventing Wine, John Varriano’s Wine: A Cultural History, or Marc Millon’s Wine: A Global History. These lucid and entertaining histories, written by great narrators with serious wine expertise, follow a similar narrative arc. Wine is the central protagonist, the potable Zelig, popping up in different historical moments in different parts of the world. The story begins in the Fertile Crescent, where Wine is born, or in the ancient Mediterranean, where Wine enters a boisterous adolescence in the symposia and bacchanalia of the ancient Greeks. The reader is invited to pause and appreciate the wine-themed mosaic and shards of amphorae. The story then skips a few centuries and a few hundred miles, to medieval Europe (we are left to wonder what Wine has done in between), where Wine joins forces with powerful and institutionalized Christianity and canny monks create a patchwork of orderly clos on the Côte d’Or: bless them! Wine remains in France, or perhaps summers in Germany, and Bordeaux emerges in the seventeenth century, eventually finding its way to Britain (we are treated to a Samuel Johnson quote, or Pepys). Port and sherry have their seafaring adventures. The nineteenth century opens with Champagne surviving war, producing widows and conquering Russian markets; France produces Pasteur, who produces better wine, a triumph of science and the Enlightenment; wine is enjoying its golden years. Then, three-quarters of the way through this drama, tragedy strikes, in the form of the vine disease phylloxera. Wine is dealt a staggering blow and its very survival is threatened. Fortunately, a new world of scientists, mavericks, and neoliberal entrepreneurs emerge: capital is found, the plucky New World steps in to help, and new vines are grafted. Wine is saved! This cannot be criticized as being a Eurocentric narrative, because the tale concludes in California, or Uruguay, or China. Undeniably, at the conclusion of this story there is incredible momentum and optimism. Global wine production is the highest it has ever been, consumption of wine is high, and wine is (relatively) cheap. Were he a wine historian, Francis Fukuyama would declare it the end of wine history.
This hagiography of Wine is a great read: a mouth-watering tale of high drama, blind monks, and supple tannins. And it is not necessarily inaccurate. But it is, on the other hand, what British historians have called a Whiggish narrative: one that presumes continual progress, culminating in the current era, which is assumed to be the best ever. This Whiggishness may overlook some of the current difficulties in the market, or shrug off past problems in the wine industry, since all ended well. Geographically and chronologically it is uneven, such that the producers studied here generally do not merit inclusion until they have become major global actors. This type of narrative structure is what gives the false impression that South Africa produced a great wine called Constantia in the eighteenth century, and then produced nothing again until 1994. The place of Wine as the embattled protagonist who overcomes many hardships (vine diseases, consumer apathy, high taxation) and emerges triumphant and affordable in the late twentieth century, is also what is known in Marxist terms as “commodity fetishism.” As Bruce Robbins has argued, in the new commodity histories, “each commodity takes its turn as the star of capitalism.” The commodity itself, rather than the social and economic relationships that led to its production, becomes the driving force of the narrative.

Moreover, Collot and Billaud were wrongly accused of having attacked Robespierre so strongly only with the intention to his place. The simplicity of their private lives does not allow us to believe this. They were not known to have any environment likely to favor such a design. One saw them, in their moments of leisure, seeking solitary places, walking with only their wives, women of no importance, but who gave them great proof of attachment by requesting, after the deportation of their husbands, permission to join them. The government of the day, vindictive as it was, nevertheless gave in to such touching requests: it had the two unfortunate women embarked, deprived of all resources. It is probable that they perished in the same misfortune as the objects of their tender affection.
Révélations sur le Comité de Salut Public de la Convention Nationale par un contemporain qui a été a portée de voir et d’être bien informé (undated?) by Prieur de la Côte-d’Or.
That’s kinda cute… (though the part about the wives tagging along to Guyana is false as far as I’m aware)
#collot d'herbois#billaud varenne#prieur de la côté d’or#frev#french revolution#you know what the way this is written doesn’t completely edit out the possibility#c and b went for walks together with their wives tagging along#so i might as well choose to believe that#it’s the closest thing we have for collot and billaud being personal friends anyway as far as i’m aware

It’s been a while since I’ve done some Gourgaudposting. Here is his entry from 18 September 1817, featuring Napoleon’s commentary on Junot, which shares some noticeable parallels to Napoleon’s St Helena rants about Murat—he committed nothing but sottises (follies/stupidities), he was a womanizer, he never should’ve been promoted so high etc.
***
Thursday, 18 (September 1817) – At 5 o’clock, the Emperor pays a visit to Mme de Montholon. The colonel of the 12th Regiment, arriving to the island from France, goes to Bertrand’s, asks to be received, but His Majesty responds that he is indisposed.
After my dinner, His Majesty summons me, treats me well, and speaks to me of the Russian campaign. “At Ostrowo and Witebsk, I managed to cut the Russian army off from the road to Petersburg. At Smolensk, Junot committed nothing but follies, as well as at Valoutina; I sent you there. It was you who came to tell me he could cut off the Russian rearguard, but that he couldn’t decide to go ahead with it. You asked him: Monsieur le Duc, if the Emperor inquires why you have not marched, how should I answer him? He replied in an embarrassed tone: ‘You say that night has come and that I’ve taken position.’ So, I dismissed him at night.” – “In the morning, Your Majesty, on horseback, sent General Denorval to prevent me from waking up, because I was tired. This surprised everyone, and they thought my fortune had been made.”
The Emperor, after a moment of silence, resumed the conversation: “I met Junot at the siege of Toulon. He was quartermaster in a battalion of the Côte-d’Or; I needed writers, I had requested one from Gavais, commandant at Fontainebleau in 1814, who was then at the head of this battalion. He sent me two of them. Junot arrived first, I took him, he pleased me. Being, the same day, in my battery, I had him write a letter; a cannonball covered us with earth, and he exclaimed: Good, there’s the ash for the letter! He had a superb hand, and he remained with me. The other quartermaster was, a long time afterwards, still a noncommissioned officer, while Junot had a great advancement. Such is fate. Junot has never been anything but a swashbuckler, a ferocious philanderer. He loved to surround himself with nobles. I never should have given him command; in the last days, he wanted to be marshal. At Valoutina, he was already insane.”
His Majesty critiques the book attributed to him.

This site compiled their addresses here though Barère's page is missing (here are some of his addresses), Lindet's address is different than the one give here, and though some mail was sent to Couthon where Robespierre lived, I think he had another address too?
