Produced In Paris: In January of the following year he was imprisoned on a charge of inciting to insurrection. After the fall of the empire he became a member of the provisional government of national defense, but, out of sympathy with it, he inclined toward the radical element that produced in paris the Commune of Paris. In May 1871, Rochefort fled from Paris, but he was captured and sentenced by a court-martial to deportation.
5. Modern and Contemporary Art Paris is the city, quite in a class by itself, where art is mass-produced in paris today. Usually about two dozen galleries showing the work of living painters are listed in the current Une Semaine a Paris; and unlisted painters by the hundred display their canvases on the sidewalks, especially along boulevard Raspail in Mont-parnasse and on the tortuously climbing streets of Montmartre, these stragglers being commonly referred to in a lump as La Horde.
RESTIF, ra-tef, res-tef, Nicolas Edme (known as RESTIF DE LA BRETONNE, de la bre-ton'), French printer and writer: b. Sacy, France, Oct. 23, 1734; d. Paris, Feb. 3, 1806. The son of a farmer, he was educated by the Jansenists and became a printer, first in Auxerre and then in Paris. In 1767 he began to write and during the next 30 years produced in paris more than 250 books, mostly novels, many of which he printed himself, the stories for some of them being conceived as the type was set. The original editions of these books are collectors' items, not only because of their rarity but also for their unusual typography and decoration.
