The date shown is a parody of the republican calendar: ""17 Neigeôse An I"". A magnificent original wood engraving representing the Communards on the Montmartre hill and bearing the monogram Armand adorns the first board. In the spirit of the Paris Commune the République de Montmartre was created in the early 1920s by the Parisian artists Joé Bridge Adolphe Willette Jean-Louis Forain Francisque Poulbot Maurice Neumont Louis Morin Maurice Millière Raoul Guérin and Jules Depaquit.
