Mirabeau Study Aide / Collectible Card

Mirabeau Trading/Collectible Card. Uncredited. Undated, late 19th / Early 20th Century. Hachette: Paris. Double-sided printed card.
 
  
 
This small card with a short biography of the Revolutionary leader measures the distance from Mirabeau's subversive nature during his own lifetime to dusty history for school children a century on. It specifies that it is "for use in primary schools", though it is unclear whether as a study-aid, a collectable, or a combination of both. It was published by Hachette, one of the largest of the commercial publishing-houses.
