The Revenant Archive contains 54 issues of the rare Gazette anecdotique, littéraire, artistique et bibliographique (Anecdotal, Litterary, Artistic and Bibliographic Gazette), a journal published in the 1870s--a transitional time in the history of the avant-garde--and aimed at cultural historians, archivists, and others involved in Romanticist and post-Romantic cultural history. It was edited and mostly written by Georges d'Heylli, chief archivist of the Comédie française, and issued by his press Librairie des Bibliophiles, which published small editions of contemporary post-Parnassian and proto-Symbolist poetry (they were the first publisher of Verlaine, for instance) and new editions of earlier avant-garde and esoteric literature. (The Revenant Archive contains the pseudonymous Monte-Naken's Rimes futiles from this press.) The Gazette Anecdotique Collection also includes a handwritten note from d'Heylli to an unidentified collaborator from 1874.

1876:
Heylli encouraged his readers to become contributors, and invited 'letters to the editor' in the form of material donated from his subscribers' personal archives for reproduction in the journal. Most of the contributions were probably acquired in this way, and among his most frequent reader-contributors was Jules Claretie, one of the first active historians of avant-garde romanticism and of revolutionary movements in France, several of whose books and personal relics are included in the Revenant Archive. A number of letters and other texts from Claretie's personal archive are reproduced in the Gazette.
1877:
Some issues available online at Gallica while some of the anthologized yearly collections are available from the Internet Archive.
The Revenant Archive contains 18 issues from 1876 (the journal's first year), all 24 issues from 1877, and half (12 issues) of the year 1879. These probably belonged to the same original subscriber, but were subsequently broken into separate lots for sale, resulting in the absence of the 1878 and possibly later numbers. The unknown original owner seems to have cut pages to read the articles that interested him or her while leaving others uncut.

Published during the time when the Romanticist generation in France, including the founders of the avant-garde community, were beginning to die, this journal was an important part of a collective effort by a younger generation to preserve and share this history, which might otherwise have become altogether lost to history--a project of historiography, preservation, and research that is continued today by the Revenant project.

Georges d'Heylli, Literary Historian, Archivist & Publisher. Letter to unidentified correspondent. July 3, 1874.
Georges d'Heylli, editor of the Gazette, was an important bibliophile, publisher and historian of the avant-garde. In this note, Heylli seems to be requesting to an unidentified fellow publisher or critic that a notice of one of his forthcoming publications be placed in a publication with which they are involved.

Varia (Special Feature) / Bulletin Bibliographique (Recent Publications) / Feuilleton rétrospectif: Les Frères d'armes (suite) (Newspaper retrospective: Brothers in Arms (conclusion) )
Highlights: A survey of the complex political situation in the wake of the Feb., 1876 elections, in which Heylli explains that this journal on modern cultural history must also preserve traces of its current context for future researchers; reviews of a Dumas play and an opera; an account of pieces and prices from a recent auction of the Romanticist sculptor Barye, who had died six months earlier; a statistical analysis of requests, registered readers & researchers at the Bibliothèque Nationale each year from 1868-1875; and the conclusion of an anonymous 1865 parody of Hugo, the first part of which appeared in the previous issue.
Highlights: This issue contains several obituaries of Romanticists with ties to the first-generation avant-garde: the socialist, occultist, Evadamiste and senator Alphonse Esquiros, who had been close to the Bouzingo group in the 1830s; the frenetic poet Eduard d'Anglemont ("With Éd. d'Anglemont passes away the last representative of the skeletal poetry dressed in black."); and the Romanticist historian Jules Michelet, to whom much of the issue is devoted. A series of two- or three-sentence literary 'portraits' by Saint-Beuve of members of the Romanticist community including Gautier, Béranger, Dumas, Musset, Delphine Girardin, Hugo, Janin, and even the murderer Lacordaire. Also a comparison of ticket sales at each of the major Paris theatres in 1874-75, and an odd (unsympathetic) reference to what seems to have been an unnamed musician who was performing in drag.
Highlights: An essay on the (largely unpublished) literary work by Romanticist cartoonists Daumier, Gavarni, Grévin (also a costume designer), and others; a dinner invitation c. 1833-34 from the Romanticist polyglot Charles
Nodier to Alexandre Dumas, with reference to one of the frequent riots
and attempted insurrections of that time; extensive biographical-critical obituaries of the cross-dressing feminist Romantic George Sand, and of the Romanticist music publisher & organiser Bernard Latte, and one for a prominent polka dancer named Cellarius; a critical appreciation of the Frenetic poet d'Anglemont, whose obituary had appeared in the previous issue; and a portion of a bill detailing the exorbitant expenses of an Imperial Reception in 1860, d'Heylli's introduction to which quotes Gustave Karr's early avant-garde periodical Les Guêpes, 44 volumes of which are held in the Revenant Archive.

Georges d'Heylli, Literary Historian, Archivist & Publisher. Letter to unidentified correspondent. July 3, 1874.
Georges d'Heylli, editor of the Gazette, was an important bibliophile, publisher and historian of the avant-garde. In this note, Heylli seems to be requesting to an unidentified fellow publisher or critic that a notice of one of his forthcoming publications be placed in a publication with which they are involved.
A conjectural transcription:
"Mon Cher Confrère
Voulez vous–si vous le pouvez–être assez aimable pour [insérer] le petit extrait [ci-joint] dans un de [vos] [courrier] de [théatre?].–Je vous [enverrai?] le Volume dès qu'il aura paru, [+] je [vous] prie de recevoir, mon Cher Confrère, l'[Assurance?] de mes Sentiments bien devoué au même temps que tous mes remerciements
Georges d'HeylliOr in rough, conjectural English:
3 Juillet–74"
"My Dear Colleague
Would you like--if you can--to be so kind as to [insert] the attached little extract in one of your [mailings] to [the theatre?].–I [shall send?] you the Volume as soon as it shall have appeared, [+] I beg you to accept, my Dear Colleague, the [assurance?] of my very devoted Sentiments at the same time as all my many thanks.
Georges d'Heylli
July 3, [18]74"
