Title: Le blocus de Paris complainte nationale et patriotique.
Date Created/Published: Paris : L. Richard, éditeur aux Bureaux de la publication, 19, rue des Martyrs (Paris : Typ. Alean-Lévy, rue Lafayette, 61), [1871?]
Summary: Broadside shows a manned balloon labelled 'Au Governement de la defense nationale, projet en l'air infaillible pour bloquement de Paris' with a magnet near the enemy's cannon. The illustrator humorously predicted that this disarmament project would be fatal to the enemy. Surrounding text invites the rest of Europe to listen to what happened to Parisians during the blockade: hunger, lack of theater, letters delivered by balloon. Ends with the upbeat 'vive la République.'
