Overview

Identification (RSR, 2026-10-21)

An unidentified guest of the Bashkirtseffs in Paris in 1879: «Gaedes, Fénelon, Moralès, caricatures. Hecht.» (086.0152, 086/1879-08-28) and «tous ces gens sont venus ce soir, Da Costa, Fénelon, Alexis, Blanc, Hecht, le prêtre russe» (086.0256, 086/1879-09-11). The Mon Journal t.13 index files both pages (84, 95) under «Fénelon (François de Salignac de la Mothe) Prélat», the archbishop of Cambrai (1651–1715). That cannot be right for a visitor; the index is mistaken here.
