Christine Lapostolle, it's difficult to know whether Appert was inventing or adopting a practice already in use under Napoleon III, or even in other countries, a practice that until then had been

Garnier-Pagès, registered for legal deposit on July 27, 1869, was used after the Commune, in 1881, in the photomontage depicting the deputies of the Seine.", "The photomontage technique stems from the Anglo-Saxon tradition: Appert combined fragments of portraits with actors' bodies, posing them in natural settings.", "The drawing is only visible in the form of retouching to bind the whole together.", "In this way, he artificially brought together members of parliament, ministers or the protagonists of a court case, such as the Troppmann case in 1869 or the Victor Noir case in 1870.This practice places him in the dual tradition of the fictitious group portrait in engraving on the one hand, and history painting on the other.", "It enabled him to free himself from the rules of studio

business cards, met with some success until they were banned in the autumn of 1872.=== Sources and inspiration ===''Assassination of Commune hostages at the Roquette prison'', photomontage, albumen

photographic output, notably in ''L'Exécution des otages'', prison de la Roquette.", "Appert favors the term \"assassination\", and stages a group of executors, the masses, against the individual who occupies the rank of hero or martyr.", "For the ''Massacre des Dominicains d'Arcueil'', Appert drew on the codes of religious iconography, still very popular at the time due to the profusion of Epinal images.", "The central figure in the photomontage is clearly inspired by the martyrdom of Saint Sebastian.", "Appert drew his inspiration mainly from engravings published in the press, notably for his first two photomontages, which take their composition from engravings in ''L'Illustration.''", "Lastly, the photographer gathered testimonies from former hostages, which he endeavored to faithfully convey in his choice of details, such as Gustave Chaudey's robe, or Georges Darboy's long beard, which he added by drawing on an older portrait of the archbishop.", "Appert also repeats several criticisms of the insurgents, as he had read them in the press.", "Maxime Du Camp's description of Communards as \"obtuse brutes who understand nothing, except that they have good pay, lots of wine and too much brandy\" is echoed in the image of national guards seated on terraces, indifferent to the execution they are witnessing; or in the image of the inmate of the Chantiers prison who drinks straight from the bottle.", "Anti-Communard imagery recurrently features stereotypes of the \"obscene, hideous, ferocious\" Parisian woman, the \"cantinières, pétroleuses, ambulancières\" that Appert portrays in ''L'Assassinat de 62 otages rue Haxo'', with one woman even appearing to command the shot, perched on a horse.", "''Removal of the bodies of the Archbishop of Paris, Mgr Darboy, and the

his exchange for Auguste Blanqui, a prisoner in Morlaix.", "On May 14, the Commune offered to exchange all its hostages - some 70 of them - for Blanqui alone, but Thiers refused.", "According to historian Pierre Milza, \"this was the way for Versailles to create martyrs for itself \".", "Darboy was executed during Bloody Week, on May 24, in the Roquette prison.", "He was joined by President Bonjean, Abbé Deguerry, parish priest of the Madeleine, and Abbé Surat, archdeacon of Notre-Dame.The series gave rise to a series of divergent analyses, with art historian Francis Haskell pointing out that \"although photography is intrinsically no less ambiguous than other categories of image, it is doubtful whether even today these limitations have been generally recognized, whether in our own time or, a fortiori, in those that preceded it\".=== Photomontage as a form of manipulation ===''Murder of Gustave Chaudey in Sainte-Pélagie prison'', photomontage, albumen print, Musée Carnavalet.The practice of photomontage raises a number of questions.", "Appert's technique had no equivalent in France at the time, and both his attention to detail and the quality of his workmanship seem to testify first and foremost to manipulation.Photomontage first poses problems of credibility: in the scene of the Dominicains of Arcueil, the photographer is supposed to be standing under the very fire of the Communards; the size of several characters frequently seems unrealistic.", "Appert's results are highly variable: his perspective is distorted in Assassinat de Gustave Chaudey, and it's hard to discern any technical progression throughout the series, with Appert appearing over time to be \"more concerned with dramatization than veracity \".", "The most plausible photomontage, in terms of form, remains that of Assassinat des généraux Thomas et Lecomte.For Daniel Salles, exhibition curator at the Bibliothèque nationale de France, the ''Crimes de la Commune'' series \"falsifies reality\" and is a part of a manipulation.", "For Girardin and Pirker, Appert's approach remains ambiguous, not least because he also employs actors or extras whom he asks to assume a studied pose - the attitude typical of the martyrdom of Saint Sebastian is clearly recognizable - in order to add them to his composition.", "For media historian Laurent Bihl, too, \"the series ... uses photomontage to produce a falsified image and pretend it's a real photograph bearing witness to the crimes\" of the Communards\".", "''Assassination of Generals Clément-Thomas and Claude Lecomte'', photomontage, albumen print, Musée Carnavalet.What's more, the image is not isolated: on the contrary, it is part of a narrative, a staging that highlights the successive stages or scenes of a single event, taking its inspiration from history painting.", "Appert \"hesitates between the status of objectivity linked to the medium and that of subjective narration made possible by reconstitutions and photomontage\".From the outset, photomontage was intended to incriminate the Communards, as the title of the photographic series indicates.", "In a style very different from Jules Raudnitz's ''Sabbat rouge'', however, the aim is still to equate the Paris Commune with a bad fever, or a fit of insanity requiring rigorous .", "Leaving behind the tone of a pamphlet, Appert's claim to objectivity and accuracy is quite ostentatious, particularly in the title of his proofs.", "This claim to objectivity does not, however, change the nature of the series, which remains \"a partisan, propaganda narrative, whose central figure is that of the execution, tirelessly declined\".", "''Murder of 62 hostages, rue Haxo 85 in Belleville.''", "''May 26, 1871, 5 p.m.''Finally, these photomontages take considerable liberties with historical facts.", "The execution of the hostages at the Roquette prison was indeed ordered by Théophile Ferré on May 24, 1871, but he was not present at the scene, as Appert's image suggests.", "The scene is silent on the confusion of the moment, and the Communards' determination to prevent the execution.", "The Rue Haxo hostages were not executed all at once, as the photomontage shows, but in small groups, in great confusion.", "More significantly, Generals Thomas and Lecomte were shot one after the other, summarily and by the angry: Appert's photomontage, itself inspired by an engraving in ''L'Illustration'', gives the impression of a joint execution by an organized platoon, as if implementing a decision of the Paris.The series succeeded in discrediting the Paris Commune in the long term, since during the centenary of the Paris Commune, West Germany in particular republished the images from Crimes de la Commune without specifying their photomontage status.", "In 1972 in France, certain editions continued to present \"Appert's tricks as authentic documents\", and even in 2016, the daily newspaper Ouest-France reused the image of the shooting at the Roquette prison without providing the same information.=== Photomontage as a search for authenticity ===''Georges Darboy in his cell at the Roquette prison'', photomontage, albumen print, Musée Carnavalet.For Girardin and Pirker, however, the photomontage reconstruction of the ''Arcueil Dominicans Massacre'' reflects a quest for authenticity: the photographer specifies in the caption the date and time of the event the photomontage is intended to reveal.", "When Appert added portraits of real Communards photographed in Versailles prisons, he was still seeking to \"make it real\".", "The photographic image is not mechanically reproducible in the press; rather, it serves as a model for lithographs, which acquire an additional form of authenticity.For Christine Lapostolle, \"before interpreting, for example, the Versailles photomontages in ''Crimes de la Commune'' as a scandalous falsification, we need to look at the way photography was perceived in 1871, and determine to what extent this 'deception' of the viewer was not due to a desire to be even more faithful to reality than the technology of the time allowed \".The status of the photographic image, in the eyes of contemporaries, was thus \"more than true\".", "Photomontage was a technical response to photography's inability to reveal - exposure times for wet collodion are in excess of two minutes, prohibiting any movement of the subject immediacy.", "Similarly, Bertrand Tillier points out that \"these representations were not conceived as tricks designed to deceive the credulity of the public\", since the photographer makes no attempt to conceal the composite origin of his work.The ''Crimes de la Commune'' series bears witness to a particular use of the medium by the Versaillais: instead of depicting themselves, they sought, notably through photomontage, to control the image of the Paris Commune for their time and posterity.", "With this in mind, the figures are small, no longer easily identifiable - a far cry from the Communard group portrait, a collection of individuals, as in Bruno Braquehais 's series entitled ''La Chute de la colonne Vendôme'' - and reduced to a shapeless mass.", "The essential thing is to bear witness to the crime, to prove it.", "Appert's entourage believed in the scientific and irrefutable value of photography." ], [ "Copyrights", "Louis Josée Amédée Daudenarde, ''Les martyrs, the last moments of Mgr Darboy and the five victims'', Musée Carnavalet.Appert's photographs also found themselves at the heart of a legal debate over copyright.", "On October 14, 1871, ''Le Monde illustré'' published a series of 50 drawings of communards, 24 of which were copied from Appert's photographs.", "The newspaper did not mention the authors of the photographs, nor did it pay them.", "Appert sued Le ''Monde Illustré'' in 1872, claiming 50,000 francs in damages.", "However, the Seine Civil Court dismissed his claim, ruling firstly that Appert had obtained an ''erratum'' in a later edition of the newspaper, indicating his authorship of the images (following the ''Courrier de Paris'' in the October 21, 1871 issue of ''Le Monde'' ''illustré''), and that this was all he was asking for at the time, and secondly that publication of the drawings constituted a \"useful means of publicity\" for the photographer, and not a prejudice.This trial also provides information on the conditions of collaboration with the Versailles authorities, as well as with the prisoners.", "According to Appert's lawyer, the Communards whose portraits the photographer took gave him ownership of their image in writing, \"demanding in return the delivery of an unlimited number of copies of their photographs, portraits of their comrades\" as well as reproductions of \"criminal scenes in which they participated\".", "This curious arrangement seems to be borne out by the copies of Appert's photographs in some collections, signed by the prisoners themselves to their relatives or even to their guards.", "This would have been a way for prisoners to assure their loved ones that they were still alive, at a time of misinformation and increasing executions.Paradoxically, while the modern technique of photography gives rise here to a conservative message, it can also be recuperated, or even subverted: \"Appert's photographs allow relatives to keep alive the flame of the dead.", "This mobilizing presence of the dead is a central motif of Communard memory\".", "The flourishing trade in photographs depicting Communards worried the authorities as early as June 1871, for they considered that, while the image could, depending on the viewer's sensitivity, stigmatize the subject photographed or, conversely, render him or her heroic, its main effect was to keep alive the memory of the individuals photographed." ], [ "Commerce and posterity", "''Les Martyrs de la grande Roquette'', photomontage by Hippolyte Vauvray, Musée

audience.", "Several photomontages inspired by, or even differing from, Appert's are registered with the legal deposit office, including Pierre-Hippolyte Vauvray's ''Martyrs de la Roquette.", "''However, on December 28, 1871, the distribution of the photographs was banned by decree, on the grounds that they disturbed the public peace and promoted violence.", "For Daniel Girardin and Christian Pirker, \"after playing the propaganda card, the government backed down and exercised censorship.", "Appert's photomontages are the instruments of these two successive political manipulations\".", "After this date, however, Appert benefited from special privileges, and continued to register works for legal deposit, at least until the circular addressed to police commissioners in November 1872, which clarified and reinforced the previous decree.In the early 20th century, the photomontages were reproduced in postcard form, in a series entitled ''Documents historiques'', which also included other photographs of the Paris Commune.", "Since they were not accompanied by any particular mention, it is possible that they were received as evidence of moments taken on the spot.Copies of the ''Crimes de la Commune'' series found their way into auction rooms in the 20th century.According to Stéphanie Sotteau Soualle and Quentin Bajac, the ''Crimes de la Commune'' are

photography.", "According to Pierre Piazza, it was the Prefecture of Police who commissioned Appert to take portraits of Communards incarcerated in Versailles.", "For Éric Heilmann, \"the first systematic file-keeping operation was carried out in 1871 by the military justice system, in an attempt to identify Commune militants.\"", "The practice gradually spread: portraits, often of mediocre quality, were gradually added to convict files and intelligence cards.", "According to Christine Lapostolle, in reference to Alphonse Bertillon, this was \"bertillonnage avant la lettre\".For Christian Phéline, Appert's portraits of Communards were a forerunner of Alphonse Bertillon's forensic photography.", "By organizing a vast photo campaign in the prisons of Versailles, he was responding to a government order to identify \"communards\" and enable them to be hunted down.", "Appert inaugurated \"a mode of figuration defined by its own functionality: the inmates are identically represented seated, in front of the light background of a wall \".", "Generally speaking, the history of photography assumes that Appert perfected this \"judicial\" genre by photographing the inmates of Versailles prisons in 1871.In 1874, in a \"climate of social reaction\" after the crushing of the insurrection, a photographic service was created at the Paris police headquarters.=== First photomontages ===''Des femmes de la Commune'', photomontage of women incarcerated at the Chantiers prison in Versailles, Musée Carnavalet.Appert then exploited the prisoners' portraits commercially in his photomontages, in which he featured the protagonists.", "Women photographed individually in the courtyard of the Chantiers prison are featured in the photomontage Des femmes de la Commune.", "For Christine Lapostolle, it's difficult to know whether Appert was inventing or adopting a practice already in use under Napoleon III, or even in other countries, a practice that until then had been applied only to artistic photography.For Emmanuèle Peyret, \"Eugène Appert used the busts and heads from the photos during their incarceration, then cut, pasted and re-pasted them.",

result of the trickery is, dare we say it, truer than life, although a few details betray the deception: in the front row, the same dress twice, in the background, the same shot of soldiers twice, and one of the women has kept her military cap.", "Very well executed propaganda to continue damaging the image of these courageous women.", "\"Appert had already adopted this portrait style in 1869: the portrait of Garnier-Pagès, registered for legal deposit on July 27, 1869, was used after the Commune, in 1881, in the photomontage depicting the deputies of the Seine.", "The photomontage technique stems from the Anglo-Saxon tradition: Appert combined fragments of portraits with actors' bodies, posing them in natural settings.", "The drawing is only visible in the form of retouching to bind the whole together.", "In this way, he artificially brought together members of parliament, ministers or the protagonists of a court case, such as the Troppmann case in 1869 or the Victor Noir case in 1870.This practice places him in the dual tradition of the fictitious group portrait in engraving on the one hand, and history painting on the other.", "It enabled him to free himself from the rules

that of the Mexican emperor Maximilian in 1867, which had given rise to an abundant photographic output, notably in \"L'Exécution des otages\", prison de la Roquette.", "Appert favors the term \"assassination\", and stages a group of executors, the masses, against the individual who occupies the rank of hero or martyr.", "For the \"Massacre des Dominicains d'Arcueil,\" Appert drew on the codes of religious iconography, still very popular at the time due to the profusion of Epinal images.", "The central figure in the photomontage is clearly inspired by the martyrdom of Saint Sebastian.", "Appert drew his inspiration mainly from contemporary published engravings, notably for his first two photomontages, which take their composition from engravings published in ''L'Illustration.''", "Lastly, the photographer gathered testimonies from former hostages, which he endeavored to faithfully convey in his choice of details, such as Gustave Chaudey's robe, or Georges Darboy's long beard, which he added by drawing on an older portrait of the archbishop.", "Appert also repeats a number of criticisms of the insurgents, as he had read them in the press.", "Maxime Du Camp's description of Communards as \"obtuse brutes who understand nothing, except that they have good pay, lots of wine and too much brandy\" is echoed in the image of national guards seated on terraces, indifferent to the execution they are witnessing; or in the image of the inmate of the Chantiers prison who drinks straight from the bottle.", "Anti-Communard imagery recurrently features stereotypes of the \"obscene, hideous, ferocious\" Parisian woman, the \"cantinières, pétroleuses, ambulancières\" that Appert portrays in \"L'Assassinat de 62 otages rue Haxo,\" with one woman even appearing to command the shot, perched on a horse.", "''Removal of the bodies of the Archbishop of Paris, Mgr Darboy, and the clerics executed by the Commune on May 24, 1871'', Musée

12, as a hostage of the Commune, he wrote to Thiers to \"protest against the summary executions committed by the Versaillais\", and to propose his exchange for Auguste Blanqui, a prisoner in Morlaix.", "On May 14, the Commune offered to exchange all its hostages - some 70 of them - for Blanqui alone, but Thiers refused.", "According to historian Pierre Milza, \"this was the way for Versailles to create martyrs for itself.\"", "Darboy was executed on May 24 during ''Semaine sanglante'' (\"Bloody Week\"), in Roquette Prison.", "He was joined by President Bonjean, Abbé Deguerry, parish priest of the Madeleine, and Abbé Surat, archdeacon of Notre-Dame.The series gave rise to a series of divergent analyses, with art historian Francis Haskell pointing out that \"although photography is intrinsically no less ambiguous than other categories of image, it is doubtful whether even today these limitations have been generally recognized, whether in our own time or, ''a fortiori'', in those that preceded it.", "\"=== Photomontage as a form of manipulation ===''Murder of Gustave Chaudey in Sainte-Pélagie prison'', photomontage, albumen print, Musée Carnavalet.The practice of photomontage raises a number of questions.", "Appert's technique had no equivalent in France at the time, and both his attention to detail and the quality of his workmanship seem to testify first and foremost to manipulation.Photomontage first poses problems of credibility: in the scene of the Dominicains of Arcueil, the photographer is supposed to be standing under the very fire of the Communards; the size of several characters frequently seems unrealistic.", "Appert's results are highly variable: his perspective is distorted in Assassinat de Gustave Chaudey, and it's hard to discern any technical progression throughout the series, with Appert appearing over time to be \"more concerned with dramatization than veracity.\"", "The most plausible photomontage, in terms of form, remains that of \"Assassinat des généraux Thomas et Lecomte.", "\"For Daniel Salles, exhibition curator at the Bibliothèque nationale de France, the ''Crimes de la Commune'' series \"falsifies reality\" and is a part of a manipulation.", "For Girardin and Pirker, Appert's approach remains ambiguous, not least because he also employs actors or extras whom he asks to assume a studied pose - for example, the attitude typical of the martyrdom of Saint Sebastian is clearly recognizable - in order to add them to his composition.", "For media historian Laurent Bihl, too, \"the series ... uses photomontage to produce a falsified image and pretend it's a real photograph bearing witness to the crimes\" of the Communards.", "\"''Assassination of Generals Clément-Thomas and Claude Lecomte'', photomontage, albumen print, Musée Carnavalet.What's more, the image is not isolated: on the contrary, it is part of a narrative, a staging that highlights the successive stages or scenes of a single event, taking its inspiration from history painting.", "Appert \"hesitates between the status of objectivity linked to the medium and that of subjective narration made possible by reconstitutions and photomontage.\"", "From the outset, photomontage was intended to incriminate the Communards, as the title of the photographic series indicates.", "In a style very different from French photographe Jules Raudnitz's series, ''Sabbat rouge'' however, the aim is still to equate the Paris Commune with a bad fever, or a fit of insanity requiring rigorous treatment.", "Leaving behind the tone of a pamphlet, Appert's claim to objectivity and accuracy is quite ostentatious, particularly in the title of his proofs.", "This claim to objectivity does not, however, change the nature of the series, which remains \"a partisan, propaganda narrative, whose central figure is that of the execution, tirelessly declined.", "\"''Murder of 62 hostages, rue Haxo 85 in Belleville.", "May 26, 1871, 5 p.m.''Finally, these photomontages take considerable liberties with historical facts.", "The execution of the hostages at the Roquette prison was indeed ordered by Théophile Ferré on May 24, 1871, but he was not present at the scene, contrary to what Appert's image suggests.", "The scene is silent on the confusion of the moment, and the Communards' determination to prevent the execution.", "The Rue Haxo hostages were not executed all at once, as the photomontage shows, but in small groups, in great confusion.", "More significantly, Generals Thomas and Lecomte were shot one after the other, summarily and by the angry: Appert's photomontage, itself inspired by an engraving in ''L'Illustration'', gives the impression of a joint execution by an organized platoon, as if implementing a decision of the Paris.The series succeeded in discrediting the Paris Commune in the long term, since during the centenary of the Paris Commune, West Germany in particular republished the images from ''Crimes de la Commune'' without specifying their photomontage status.", "In 1972 in France, certain editions continued to present \"Appert's tricks as authentic documents\", and even in 2016, the daily newspaper Ouest-France reused the image of the shooting at the Roquette prison without providing the same information.=== Photomontage as a search for authenticity ===''Georges Darboy in his cell at the Roquette prison'', photomontage, albumen print, Musée Carnavalet.For Girardin and Pirker, however, the photomontage reconstruction of the ''Arcueil Dominicans Massacre'' reflects a quest for authenticity: the photographer specifies in the caption the date and time of the event the photomontage is intended to reveal.", "When Appert added portraits of real Communards photographed in Versailles prisons, he was still seeking to \"make it real.\"", "The photographic image is not mechanically reproducible in the press; rather, it serves as a model for lithographs, which acquire an additional form of authenticity.For Christine Lapostolle, \"before interpreting, for example, the Versailles photomontages in ''Crimes de la Commune'' as a scandalous falsification, we need to look at the way photography was perceived in 1871, and determine to what extent this 'deception' of the viewer was not due to a desire to be even more faithful to reality than the technology of the time allowed.", "\"The status of the photographic image, in the eyes of contemporaries, was thus \"more than true.\"", "Photomontage was a technical response to photography's inability to reveal - exposure times for wet collodion are in excess of two minutes, prohibiting any movement of the subject immediacy.", "Similarly, Bertrand Tillier points out that \"these representations were not conceived as tricks designed to deceive the credulity of the public\", since the photographer makes no attempt to conceal the composite origin of his work.The ''Crimes de la Commune'' series bears witness to a particular use of the medium by the Versaillais: instead of depicting themselves, they sought, notably through photomontage, to control the image of the Paris Commune for their time and posterity.", "With this in mind, the figures are small, no longer easily identifiable - a far cry from the Communard group portrait, a collection of individuals, as in Bruno Braquehais 's series entitled ''La Chute de la colonne Vendôme'' - and reduced to a shapeless mass.", "The essential thing is to bear witness to the crime, to prove it.", "Appert's entourage believed in the scientific and irrefutable value of photography." ], [ "Copyrights", "Louis Josée Amédée Daudenarde, ''Les martyrs, the last moments of Mgr Darboy and the five victims'', Musée Carnavalet.Appert's photographs also found themselves at the heart of a legal debate over copyright.", "On October 14, 1871, ''Le Monde illustré'' published a series of 50 drawings of communards, 24 of which were copied from Appert's photographs.", "The newspaper did not mention the authors of the photographs, nor did it pay them.", "Appert sued Le ''Monde illustré'' in 1872, claiming 50,000 francs in damages.", "However, the Seine Civil Court dismissed his claim, ruling firstly that Appert had obtained an ''erratum'' in a later edition of the newspaper, indicating his authorship of the images (following the ''Courrier de Paris'' in the October 21, 1871 issue of ''Le Monde'' ''illustré''), and that this was all he was asking for at the time, and secondly that publication of the drawings constituted a \"useful means of publicity\" for the photographer, and not a prejudice.This trial also provides information on the conditions of collaboration with the Versailles authorities, as well as with the prisoners.", "According to Appert's lawyer, the Communards whose portraits the photographer took gave him ownership of their image in writing, \"demanding in return the delivery of an unlimited number of copies of their photographs, portraits of their comrades\" as well as reproductions of \"criminal scenes in which they participated\".", "This curious arrangement seems to be borne out by the copies of Appert's photographs in some collections, signed by the prisoners themselves to their relatives or even to their guards.", "This would have been a way for prisoners to assure their loved ones that they were still alive, at a time of misinformation and increasing executions.Paradoxically, while the modern technique of photography gives rise here to a conservative message, it can also be recuperated, or even subverted: \"Appert's photographs allow relatives to keep alive the flame of the dead.", "This mobilizing presence of the dead is a central motif of Communard memory\".", "The flourishing trade in photographs depicting Communards worried the authorities as early as June 1871, for they considered that, while the image could, depending on the viewer's sensitivity, stigmatize the subject photographed or, conversely, render him or her heroic, its main effect was to keep alive the memory of the individuals photographed." ], [ "Commerce and posterity", "''Les Martyrs de la grande Roquette'', photomontage by Hippolyte Vauvray, Musée Carnavalet.Immediately after the Bloody Week and the repression of the Paris Commune, the state had no objection to the trade in images, which enabled it to consolidate its victory over the Communards, to the point that Daniel Salles described Appert as \"Thiers's official photographer\".", "The images in ''Crimes de la Commune'' were widely distributed, particularly to a popular audience.", "Several photomontages inspired by, or even differing from, Appert's are registered with the legal deposit office, including Pierre-Hippolyte Vauvray's ''Martyrs de la Roquette.", "''However, on December 28, 1871, the distribution of the photographs was banned by decree, on the grounds that they disturbed the public peace and promoted violence.", "For Daniel Girardin and Christian Pirker, \"after playing the propaganda card, the government backed down and exercised censorship.", "Appert's photomontages are the instruments of these two successive political manipulations\".", "After this date, however, Appert benefited from special privileges, and continued to register works for legal deposit, at least until the circular addressed to police commissioners in November 1872, which clarified and reinforced the previous decree.In the early 20th century, the photomontages were reproduced in postcard form, in a series entitled ''Documents historiques'', which also included other photographs of the Paris Commune.", "Since they were not accompanied by any particular mention, it is possible that they were received as evidence of moments taken on the spot.Copies of the ''Crimes de la Commune'' series found their way into auction rooms in the 20th century.According to Stéphanie Sotteau Soualle and Quentin Bajac, the ''Crimes de la Commune'' are \"composite images, certainly gimmicks, but whose dramatic aspect reinforces their impact and which, because of their photographic nature, nonetheless retain a superior historical interest\"." ], [ "See also", "* Paris Commune * French-Prussian War* Photomontage" ], [ "Notes" ], [ "References" ], [ "Bibliography", "*************" ], [ "External links", "* Appert's

known for being, since 2021, the president of Sociedade Esportiva Palmeiras, a professional football team in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A, becoming the first woman to hold this position in the team's history and at the top of the Brazilian football league system.", "And it was precisely because she headed a football team that, thinking about Palmeiras' travel logistics and the setbacks the team faced, that Pereira decided to create an airline not only to serve her own team, but to offer other football teams an another option to travel to matches in Brazil and South America.On January 30, 2023, during a meeting of the Palmeiras' Deliberative Council, Leila informed the team's advisors that she bought the first plane for Placar Linhas Aéreas, an Embraer E-Jet E2, which would be available to transport the players and the entire Palmeiras technical team to matches.", "The announcement generated questions from fans and other members of the team's council who oppose her

first plane would be an Embraer E190-E2 ( 19020015) purchased directly from Embraer.", "The plane was part of an order from Chinese airline Fuzhou Airlines, however, the company canceled the order.", "It was later temporarily leased to the Norwegian Widerøe and returned to the manufacturer, receiving the special Profit Hunter Tech Shark livery and being used as a demonstrator aircraft.", "At the time of acquisition, the aircraft was stored at the headquarters of Embraer's Portuguese subsidiary, OGMA, in Alverca, Portugal.After being prepared in Portugal and receiving Placar's colors, the E190-E2 was transferred to the airline's operations base at Bertram Luiz Leupolz Airport in Sorocaba, São Paulo.On June 27, 2023, it was officially delivered by Embraer to the airline in a ceremony at

Maintenance Services (MRO) is located in the United States.According to the Brazilian press, the reason for the transfer for maintenance in the United States is related to technical issues with Pratt

Women - Deolinda Rodrigues, Engrácia dos Santos, Irene Cohen, Lucrécia Paim, and Tereza Afonso - who were captured by the National Liberation Front of Angola (FNLA), supported by the Revolutionary Government of Angola in Exile (GRAE), on 2 March 1967, and subsequently murdered." ], [ "History", "The Camy Squadron was made up of 150 guerrillas, including five women (records from 1966 include a

Cuanza Norte) and the Cienfuegos squadron (named after the Cuban revolutionary Camilo Cienfuegos), in order to reinforce the Northern Front and liberate Luanda.", "The women, outnumbered in the squadron, were subjected to gender discrimination by the other combatants, a result of colonialism.Their mission was hampered by precarious conditions shortly after arriving in Angola via Zaire Province on 12 January 1967.Because of rain, the unit got lost making its way through the jungle, with Portuguese bombers flying over the area.", "There were internal conflicts among the guerrillas; disease, insects, ferocious animals, hunger and other problems caused discouragement and death among some of the squadron.", "The scarcity of food led them to resort to hunting and foraging in the local vegetation.", "When they reached the Mbridege River on 10 February, the unit was down to 119 members and the difficulties, exacerbated by the siege by Portuguese troops, prevented part of the battalion, weak and ill, from continuing.", "The squadron split up, and 70 guerrillas attempted the crossing while others decided to return to Congo-Brazavile; this second group, of 49 people, included the five female guerrillas.The first group, led by Ingo, was subjected to multiple ambushes by the FNLA and the Portuguese army, and arrived in Nambuangongo on 1 April 1967, reduced to 21 members.The returning group, led by logistics chief Ludy Kissassunda, lost several combatants.", "When they reached the border with Congo-Quinxassa, 20 survivors remained.", "On 2 March 1967, the five
