| 説明 | 19 December will not soon be forgotten in Paris. All the streets were alive at daybreak, either with troops of the National Guard marching to their stations, or with the population bent upon procuring a good place. Many persons who never go to the national anniversary fêtes, who did not see Queen Victoria, and who, in short, make an ostentatious profession of staying at home, did violence to their usages and set out that morning as an early hour to see the entry into Paris of the heroes, who had, by the risk of their lives for more than a year passed in the Crimea, enhanced the reputation of the French army. It was impossible to walk along the boulevards, fast as they are. Thousands who prepared themselves to go to the best deal were compelled, after tireless efforts, to take up a position and wait to see the procession pass.Before 11 o’clock the troops of the garrison and the National Guard took their place along the whole extent of the boulevards, to form a line from the Place de la Bastille to the Place Vendôme – the National Guard taking the right side. The troops arrived from the Crimea were mess that the keys of the canal leading into the Seine. At the entrances to the Rues St Antoine, de Lyon and de Charenton, and spreading out on the Place de la Bastille in front of the Boulevard Beaumarchais – the regiments of the line being nearest the column. The pupils of the Ecole Polytechnique and that of St Cyr occupied the two sides of the Place the la Bastille. A triumphal arch was erected at the entrance of the Boulevard Beaumarchais from the designs of Monsieur Baltard, the city architect, and inscribed “To the Glory of the Army”.Illustrated London News, 12 January 1856 |
