Commentary

Ce document rappelle l'arrivée au pouvoir de James Fazy (portrait en médaillon) et son groupe politique radical suite à un soulèvement populaire d'octobre 1846 qui se déroula dans le quartier St Gervais de Genève. Ce parti est soutenu et défendu par une Milice appelée "les Fruitiers d'Appenzell". Le lion est peut-être une allusion au banquier Arthur Chenevière, le «Lion de Saint-Gervais», du parti indépendant opposé à James Fazy.
This document recalls the rise to power of James Fazy (portrait in medallion) and his radical political group following a popular uprising in October 1846 that took place in the St Gervais district of Geneva. This party was supported and defended by a militia called \\\"the Fruitiers d'Appenzell\\\". The lion is perhaps an allusion to the banker Arthur Chenevière, the \\\"Lion of Saint-Gervais\\\", of the independent party opposed to James Fazy.
