Joseph-Antoine BOISSET (1748-1813) Conventionnel (Drôme). Poster, Boisset, Représentant du Peuple, aux Républicains du Département de l'Hérault, Montpellier 27 pluviose II (February 15, 1794). Montélimar, chez Fr. Mistral, Imprimeur du Département de la Drôme (42 x 53 cm, vignette).

Violent anti-religious proclamation, against the "fanaticism" and "superstition" fostered by the Church "to establish its infernal empire". Boisset calls for the burning of old calendars with the "soidisans Martyrs" and Saints, and the wearing of republican insignia instead of the cross: "the goddess of liberty, the bundle, the sacred tree, the pike and the bonnet"... He invites the Sans-culottes to work on Sundays and public holidays... The Société Populaire and the District approve and support this address.
