Books about Napoleonic era (and Polish history) - 3
Good day, dear all, and let me share with you some books I've read recently.
And because today is the birthday of Tadeusz Kościuszko I'll start with a biography of him The Peasant Prince, by the American historian Alex Storozynski:
2. One more position about the Polish history, in English, I'd like to recommend you is Richard Butterwick's The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, 1733–1795: Light and Flame, dedicated to the reigns of Polish-Lithuanian two last kings, Augustus III Wettin and Stanisław August Poniatowski:
From the topic of Polish history let's switch to the French one.
3. One more addition to my collection of Talleyrand's biographies was this one, written by Robin Harris:
4-5. Then, there were two books about Napoleon's private life, by Octave Aubry and Sigrid-Maria Größing:
6-7. A study on the topic of French revolutionary and imperial generals, by Georges Six, and George Nafziger's Imperial Bayonets. (These were books with lots of military details, so I can't say I've enjoyed them thoroughly, rather not belonging to their target audience))
8. And this is a book I really liked, The anatomy of Glory by Henry Lachouque! And though its subtitle (Napoleon and his Guards) kinda states the book will be focused on the Imperial Guards, in fact its topics turned out much more wider, including information on Napoleon himself, France and even some details of the usual life of that times:
9. The book majority of you have already read, The Iron Marshal, a biography of Louis Nicolas Davout by John Gallaher:
10-11. And the last but not the least - two books on Murat. The first is a book by the French historian Jean Tulard and the second is an impressive work of Sarah Hammel @joachimnapoleon.
Thanks a lot, Sarah, for letting as see Joachim Murat through his letters, from his own point of view!

Life and Fate of Sophie Momoro, née Fournier, and Her Childrens According to Certain Information
Festival of Reason where Sophie Momoro played a key role during certain ceremonies
Sophie Fournier was born in 1766 in Auxerre, where her family was involved in the creation of printing typefaces. Her grandfather had purchased the Blé foundry, one of the most important in France. On her mother’s side, the Gando family specialized in printing typefaces for musical scores.
Given her family’s professions, it was natural for Sophie Fournier to cross paths with Antoine François Momoro, a printer. They married on January 18, 1786, and on December 13, their only child, Jean-Antoine Momoro, was born. Antoine-François Momoro was initially a cautious revolutionary in 1789 but later dedicated himself fully to the cause until his arrest and execution. Although Sophie remained in the background, it is believed she remained loyal to her husband during his most difficult times, such as his arrest following the Champ de Mars massacre in 1791.
It wasn’t until late 1793 that Sophie Momoro began to play a public political role. On November 10, 1793, during the Festival of Reason, a woman portrayed the Goddess of Reason, wearing a Phrygian cap and carried on a stretcher by men. Patriotic songs echoed throughout the event. There is some doubt about whether Sophie played the role of the Goddess of Reason during this ceremony (some think it was Maillard, an opera actress, or Mademoiselle Aubry). However, Duquesne notes that since the ceremony was presided over by Antoine François Momoro, it is highly probable that it was Sophie Momoro.
On December 5, 1793, at the Temple of Reason, Sophie Momoro was clearly identified as the Goddess of Reason, playing an important role in the de-Christianization campaigns. Sophie was carried on a stretcher, then placed on a platform, with the crowd proceeding to the Convention. On the way back, she was again placed on a stretcher, but due to someone losing balance, she fell and broke her arm. Another notable event during the ceremony involved the impromptu burning of wooden statues of Saint Sulpice and Saint Peter. The president of the Mucius Scaevola section (formerly the Luxembourg section) Ceyrat declared, "If this God exists, let him thunder and strike me down with a bolt of his thunder!" When no thunder struck, he concluded, "He does not thunder, therefore his existence is a chimera."
Despite her injury, Sophie continued to participate in similar ceremonies of dechristianization . When portraying the Goddess of Reason, she would reportedly wear white and carry a pike (considering the struggle for revolutionary women to bear arms, this shows a certain determination on Sophie’s part).
One of Sophie Momoro’s other political actions was presiding over a reconciliation between former Catholic priests and Protestants. According to Jean-Pierre Duquesne, she was surrounded by "two or three hundred young girls dressed in white, beautiful to behold, with provocative looks, low-cut dresses, and crowned with oak leaves." During this de-Christianization ceremony, it was declared that the two religions had only survived through "clerical charlatanism according to theirs words. Thus, Sophie not only supported her husband but also demonstrated significant militancy herself, like many wives of revolutionaries who remain too often in the shadow of their husbands.
However, this marked the beginning of the end for her marriage. Following his involvement in an attempted insurrection and the complex context of 1794 with factional struggles, Antoine François Momoro was executed as part of the "Exaggerated" faction alongside Charles Philippe Ronsin, Jacques René Hébert, François-Nicolas Vincent, and others. He was falsely accused, among other things, of attempting to sabotage supplies and was allegedly (likely falsely) claimed to have amassed 190,000 livres, despite being known as an incorruptible revolutionary who lived very modestly. The saddest part is that, although he died bravely, his heart must have been broken knowing that his wife had been arrested and risked following him to the guillotine.
In prison, Sophie Momoro was inconsolable when she learned of her husband’s death from a man named Jean Baptiste Laboureau, who escaped the Hébertist execution by implicating, among others, Antoine-François Momoro. Laboureau’s remarks were either highly insensitive or downright cruel: "The Goddess of Reason was not at all reasonable; during the day, she lamented greatly over the accident that happened to her husband." Unlike Marie-Françoise Goupil and Lucile Desmoulins, she was not executed. Sophie Momoro was released on May 27, 1794, but was left without means and had to raise her son alone. Since Momoro was not rehabilitated ( and he will never be), she could not request the return of his assets, and even so, her husband had left very little inheritance. On August 25, 1794, she requested financial assistance and the return of Antoine-François Momoro’s printing presses. Both requests were denied by the State.
There is a point of divergence between Jean-Pierre Duquesne and Albert Mathiez. In 1795, a family council appointed Sophie Momoro as her son’s guardian. However, Momoro’s father was appointed as substitute guardian. According to Albert Mathiez, Momoro’s father, a shoemaker, had died before his son’s execution. Mathiez stated, "At that time, Momoro’s father, who had worked as a shoemaker, was already dead. But his mother, who had taken a job as a servant after her husband's death, was still alive." According to reports from the commissioners of the Besançon district, Momoro’s mother died shortly after her son, likely of grief. The report reads: "Today, Germinal 11, Year II of the Republic, at eleven o'clock in the morning, we, Jean François Denisot, member of the general council of the Besançon district, appointed by order of the same district on this day to affix seals at the home of the mother of the named Momoro, who has just suffered the death penalty in Paris, and having with us François-Joseph Bernard as our secretary clerk, we went to the home of citizen Forno, a war commissioner, where the said Momoro was a cook. There, we invited citizen Forno to show us the room of the said Momoro, to which she replied that she had died the previous night but was ready to introduce us to the room she occupied." I believe Momoro’s father was alive, and Albert Mathiez likely made an error, but it is possible that the opposite is true.
Sophie Momoro remarried on November 7, 1796, to a military man named Jacques-Marie Botot, who had been appointed commander of the Seine gendarmerie in 1793 (one of his apparent roles was escorting the former Queen of France, Marie Antoinette, to the scaffold). In 1795, he was appointed brigade leader. Together, they had a daughter in 1798 named Stéphanie Joséphine Adèle. Sophie’s mother also came to live with the couple and their children. However, the marriage began to falter. With the rise of Bonaparte, who was suspicious of Jacques-Marie Botot, he was appointed brigadier general and retired by the First Consul. Some accused Botot of becoming difficult and bitter in their marriage, while others believed it was due to Sophie taking a lover, the architect Jean Joseph Clotilde Lelouche. According to Georges Lenôtre, Botot’s disgrace precipitated the end of their marriage: personally, I don’t think there is any evidence of opportunism on Sophie’s part. After all, it seems she remained faithful to Momoro even in the hardest times. Perhaps Botot’s bitterness over his disgrace under Bonaparte, combined with Sophie taking a lover, led to their incompatibility over the long term. Sophie retained custody of her son, while Botot retained custody of their daughter.
Sophie moved in with Lelouche and gave birth to a daughter in 1806 named Joséphine-Clotilde-Sophie. Although he never married her, Lelouche acknowledged his daughter. However, when Sophie died two years later, it was not her lover who reported her death, but her son, Jean-Antoine. Apparently, she and her son were facing new financial difficulties. Another strange fact: despite her civil status clearly stating she was a widow of Momoro and divorced from Botot, Jacques Marie Botot did not mention his divorce status in his civil records, even though she had been dead for 14 years.
Despite their parents’ divorce, Stéphanie Joséphine Adèle Botot seems to have remained close to her brother, Jean-Antoine Momoro. She died on January 15, 1860. Joséphine Clotilde Sophie married a history painter on February 4, 1830, named Henri Louis Hippolyte Poterle.
Jean-Antoine Momoro never abandoned his mother, and it seems clear he never renounced his father and remained proud of his parents. He always signed his name as Momoro-Fournier in the registers. This was bold, as Momoro was never rehabilitated, and in some cases, family members temporarily abandoned the family names of unrehabilitated revolutionaries (understandably so, as life must have been hard enough for them), but he also signed with his mother’s surname. He always lived in the neighborhoods where his father had been active when he was in Paris. He worked as a civil servant. According to Joseph Marie Quérard, he was an "assistant chief at the Ministry of Public Works" and a "playwright" with three comedies, though it is unclear if they were published or simply performed. He married a woman from Nantes named Séraphine Emilie Nicolas, and they had a daughter, Marie-Adélaide, who married a postal worker. Jean-Antoine Momoro died in 1868.
P.S.: I mentioned some similarities and differences between Camille Desmoulins and Antoine-François Momoro in this post: Camille Desmoulins and Antoine-François Momoro. It seems that their sons (Horace-Camille Desmoulins and Jean-Antoine Momoro) also had in common a sense of pride in their parents.

Hi,
I make period drama style gifs. If you use gif packs, please like and reblog them. Most of my projects are already ready, but every day I post no more than 190 gifs. Because that was the reason why my previous account was blocked.
I tried to make gif packs in a format more familiar to you with a link to a separate page. However, unfortunately, I did not succeed because of the large format of high-quality gifs.
I want to explain about color processing. Usually, I improve the contrast, brightness and saturation, but leave the naturalness of the film. I don't make the contours too sharp because I like the aesthetic of it looking like a natural image.

Movie Reviews:
Andres Gomez: This third part of the series started with “The Spanish Apartment” and “Russian Dolls” continues following the life of Xavier and his complications. The cast is the well known and very good from previous parts with the good additions of the children, which perform really well.
This part, although shows again the chaotic life of Xavier, feels, somehow more coherent and luminous, as if the pieces would be finally fitting. Maybe the best way of summarizing the series and the conclusion is with the conversation that Xavier and Martine have by the end of the film in which Martine tell Xavier...

Nicolas Dupont-Aignan on Macron’s speech at Sorbonne: “High treason”
French President Emmanuel Macron spoke at the Sorbonne on Thursday to defend his vision for Europe just weeks before the European Parliament elections. His speech sparked a barrage of criticism from the French political elite.
“On the European stage, Emmanuel Macron has been confusing his incantations and gesticulations with achievements for seven years,” said Marine Le Pen, leader of the Rassemblement National, accusing him of “selling out whole sections of national sovereignty,” BFMTV reported live.
For his part, Jordan Bardella, Le Pen’s successor, president of the Rassemblement National, assessed at a press conference that the head of state had “decided to intervene directly and personally in the election campaign.”
Manon Aubry, who heads the list of the France Insoumise movement for the European elections, gave her assessment of Macron’s years of presidency, calling his policies “arrogance, inequality, hypocrisy.”
Nicolas Dupont-Aignan, leader of the party Debout la France (France Arise) commented on Macron’s speech yesterday on X:
“Education, health, nuclear power, electricity, defence, digital technology, foreign policy, economy, industry, agriculture….. Emmanuel Macron now wants to develop and think European. With this speech, he is carrying out the planned destruction of France. High treason.”
