This is the central site for a long-term project to research, examine, and respond to the radical collective of writers, theorists, architects, and visual artists who operated in Paris between 1829 and 1835 under the names of the Jeunes France & the Bouzingo, and through them to build a critical understanding of French Romanticist subculture through the historical lens of a continuing politically vigilant Anglophone avant-garde.

Paul Gavarni

 
Paul Gavarni was one of the formulators of Romanticist satire, to which the majority of politicized writers and illustrators turned their attention after the July Monarchy consolidated its power in the mid-1830s. Gavarni worked closely with the Artiste journal of the Bohême Doyenné group, with fellow printmakers Célestin Nanteuil and Tony Johannot, and most especially on Phillipon's Charavari. He also illustrated countless popular and Romanticist books, many in collaboration with Nanteuil and Baron.
