Tardi’s Paris: An Eternal 19th Century?
Bernard, Jean-Pierre A.
Tardi’s Paris: An Eternal 19th Century? - 2010.
67
The four volumes of Le Cri du peuple by Tardy show Paris during the Commune and feature a number of historical events, from the Proclamation of March 18th to the “Bloody week”, at the end of May. Moments of a violent history, engraved in a stone setting, faithful to the point of photographic obsession to the real Paris. A popular novel, even a melodrama, woven on the tragic framework of events. It is a graphic series about the Commune, as much as about Paris – a dated Paris but also an eternal Paris, this eternity of the 19th century which Tardi seems to be so fond of.
