[CARTOON ALBUM - Le NATIONAL 1830] Album of cartoons and pencil drawings related to the history of *Le National* (1830). Probably mid-19th century. Oblong quarto, 28 drawings (including 25 on *Le National*), 26 mounted on sheets of soft blue cardboard, the last 2 loose and interleaved. 2 drawings are stained. There may be two different artists; one style is rather “academic,” while the other is freer and more confident. ½ black morocco binding of the period, split clasps. *Le National* was a French political and literary daily newspaper founded in January 1830 by Adolphe Thiers, Armand Carrel, and François-Auguste Mignet to oppose the Second Restoration; the bookseller and publisher Auguste Sautelet served as its first manager. After several changes in ownership and numerous scandals, the daily ceased publication in 1924. The new newspaper benefited from the financial support of banker Jacques Laffitte and the patronage of Talleyrand and the Duke of Dalberg. The title refers to the motto of 1791: “The Nation, the Law, the King.” The newspaper advocated for the establishment of a parliamentary system in the form of a constitutional monarchy. In fact, *Le National* defended the Charter of 1814. One of Thiers’ editorials was interpreted by the government of Charles X as a threat to the system of government, the king, and his ministers. The authorities then decided to prosecute Sautelet in criminal court, since he was the managing editor, and Thiers, the author of the article. Both were convicted. When Charles X promulgated the July Ordinances suspending freedom of the press, journalists gathered at the headquarters of *Le National* to sign the 1830 protest, the precursor to the Revolution of 1830, known as the Three Glorious Days. In 1836, *Le National* passed into the hands of Messrs. Thomas, Trélat, Bastide, and Duclerc, who turned it into the mouthpiece of republican opinion. In 1846, Armand Marrast became editor-in-chief. *Le National* continued to serve as a platform and published Armand Marrast’s call inviting Parisians to demonstrate on February 22, 1848; Hundreds of students gathered at the Place du Panthéon, then made their way to the Madeleine, where they joined the workers. The Revolution of 1848 was underway. Subsequently, *Le National* became the official newspaper of the moderate Republican majority that emerged from the 1848 legislative elections and went on to form the Constituent Assembly of the Second Republic. The moderate Republican parliamentarians were referred to as members of the *Parti du National*, in reference to their newspaper. During the presidential election of December 1848, *Le National* defended the republican constitution and supported General Cavaignac’s presidential candidacy. Banned following the coup d’état of December 2, 1851, it ceased publication on December 31 of that same year.
