![]() As ever I am immensely grateful to Mme Auffray and her staff at the Institut Francophone, Paris for providing timely and congenial accommodation, as have Etienne Jollet and Agnès Bouvier, and Laure and Olivier Meslay, in less institutional but equally sympathique surroundings. More specifically, I am indebted to Alain Chevalier for permission to reproduce an image of the museum’s collection of cockades on the cover. Alain Chevalier and his staff at the Musée de la Révolution Française, Vizille, deserve special thanks, not only for the exceptional conditions from which I, as many other, researchers on the Revolution, have benefited, but also for allowing me the privilege of being able to stay sur place. 662 prelims.p65 9 9/3/02, 05:41 x ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The research and writing would not have been possible without the help of staff at the following institutions: in England, the British Library, London the Brotherton Library, University of Leeds in France, the Bibliothèque Historique de la Ville de Paris, Bibliothèque Nationale (latterly de France), Archives Nationales, Archives des Musées Nationaux, Musée Carnavalet, and the Musée de la Mode et du Costume. Thanks to the editors of French History and Oxford University Press for permission to republish in revised form an article on the libety cap, which here forms chapter four. Along the way, audiences at various seminar presentations of parts of this material have provided valuable feedback. Tom Howrie kindly came to my aid by checking a reference and expediting a photographic order in Paris at a late stage. I have also had the benefit of discussing aspects of the material with Marie-Claude Chaudonneret, Dario Gamboni, Etienne Jollet, and Dominique Poulot. I am particularly grateful to Tony Halliday for generously sharing his deep knowledge of the period. Thanks to Philippe Bordes, Ting Chang, Penelope Curtis, Colin Jones, Sophie Matthiesson, and Beth Wright for being willing to read and comment on drafts of parts of the text in various forms. My research into this painting, which led me to explore the relation between Liberty’s cap, and that adopted by French revolutionaries, and thereby to start thinking about the politics of dress in the French Revolution, was generously encouraged by the late David Carritt Neil Macgregor gave me the chance to present the initial results of this research in a paper to the Association of Art Historians. On reflection, I realise that the book’s distant origins lie in a visit to the Artemis Gallery in London, and an encounter with Pierre-François Delauney’s Offrande à la Liberté. As the roots of this book run deep into the past, I should also thank those to whom I owe a debt of gratitude accumulated along the way who I have inadvertently overlooked. ![]() Wherever possible, I have thanked individuals in the notes for providing me with specific references and aperçus. Although research, writing, and thinking can at times seem to require a solitary bent, it is thankfully true that none of these things are possible without the sustaining presence of a community of friendship and collaboration. 662 prelims.p65 vendémiaire brumaire frimaire nivôse ventôse germinal floréal prairial messidor thermidor fructidor 8 9/3/02, 05:41 Acknowledgements In bringing this book to completion, it is both gratifying and chastening to realise how much I have depended on the support, advice, practical assistance and forebearance of friends and colleagues. 7 9/3/02, 05:41 viii ABBREVIATIONS REVOLUTIONARY CALENDAR vend.
