Commentary


Ce piéfort est la parfaite démonstration que l’aspect pâteux des frappes courantes ne tient qu’à une fabrication de qualité médiocre et absolument pas au travail de Guiraud. Il est à se demander, au vu de la qualité technique de ce piéfort, comment ce graveur a pu tolérer ce qui fut fait de son oeuvre pour la circulation courante.
On ne peut que recommander l’acquisition de ce piéfort à ceux qui font les types modernes dans la meilleure qualité possible car cette qualité n’existe certainement pas en frappe courante.
This piedfort is the perfect demonstration that the pasty appearance of current strikes is only due to poor quality manufacturing and absolutely not to Guiraud's work. One wonders, given the technical quality of this piedfort, how this engraver could have tolerated what was done to his work for current circulation. We can only recommend the acquisition of this piedfort to those who make modern types in the best possible quality because this quality certainly does not exist in current strikes

Historical background


IV REPUBLIC

(16/01/1947-8/01/1959)

Characterized by a parliamentary regime coupled with great ministerial instability, the Fourth Republic has the particularity of never having been officially proclaimed. Indeed, De Gaulle, when he arrived in Paris on August 25, 1944, refused to do so on the pretext that the Republic had never ceased to exist. Considering that the French State of Marshal Pétain was only a simple state of affairs, he considers that the Republic survived in free France and his birth certificate must then be June 18, 1940. However, his departure, the January 20, 1946, and the referendum of October 13, 1946 approving a new Constitution, mark the official beginning of this republic. It knows two presidents: Vincent Auriol (16/01/1947 - 23/12/1953) and René Coty (23/12/1953 - 8/1/1959). The open crisis caused by the revolt of the army of Algeria leads, in 1958, to its fall which is confirmed by the adoption of a new constitution on September 28, 1958. Nevertheless, it does not cease definitively until the 8 January 1959 when General de Gaulle was installed as President of the Fifth Republic.
