Le blocus de Paris complainte nationale et patriotique. Broadside shows a manned balloon labelled Au Governement de la defense nationale, projet en l'air infaillible pour bloquement de Paris with a magnet near the enemy's cannon. The illustrator humorously predicted that this disarmament project would be fatal to the enemy. Surrounding text invites the rest of Europe to listen to what happened to Parisians during the blockade: hunger, lack of theater, letters delivered by balloon. Ends with the upbeat vive la Republique.. Date 1871?.
