1870/1910: SIEGE OF PARIS: Typed notes in 20 file folders (document albums) assembled in the 1970s by Victor Chaneryn, comprising half of an unpublished book. This collection includes detailed studies on approximately 25 of the 55 mail balloons and their aeronauts, distributed across 15 file folders. The text is composed in French. Numerous original illustrations, newspaper and magazine clippings, engravings, xylographs, letters, brochures, and covers are interspersed within the typed text, enriching the study. Naturally, the collection also contains photocopies and transcriptions. While some documents date from the time of the Siege of Paris, others originate from the following decades, reflecting how French civil society honoured these balloonists and documented the war in historical retrospectives and memoirs. The collection also explores the post-war lives of key figures, including their biographical notes, portraits, and death notices. Three volumes are dedicated to the military history of balloons and their aeronauts, including pre-siege developments, while two volumes focus on pigeon post. An extraordinary and unique assembly, offering invaluable insights into one of the most remarkable chapters of postal and military history.
