Commentary
Ce jeton est une énigme totale : aucun informaiton sur un Turlin ayant été à l’administration d’un journal qui se serait appelé LA LIBERTE DE LA PRESSE. Peut-être a-t-il frappé le jeton pour distribuer à la crémaillère du journal, laquelle n’eût jamais lieu ? On peut le supposer dater, au métal et au style, ainsi qu’à l’absence de poinçon, des troubles de 1848.
Historical background
PRESS
The press was born in the 17th century thanks to the printing press and the development of communications. In 1631, Théophraste Renaudot launched his weekly gazette called "Gazette de France" initially protected by Richelieu. The first French daily appeared in 1771 but the great development of the press took place during the revolution (350 titles appeared in 1789). Stifled under Napoleon I, the press then reappeared and became popular under Louis-Philippe I, when serial novels appeared. In 1868, a liberal law on the press allowed the emergence of many titles, some of which still exist (Le Temps later became Le Monde or Le Figaro).
