Revolt des vignerons du Midi in 1907 (postcard)

Revolt des vignerons du Midi in 1907: postcard showing the “” chef des gueux””” Marcelin (Marcellin) Albert, sitting with his famous Kronstadt hat on his knee. At that time, Marcelin Albert came as a sort of saint by the whole wine population of the Midi. This map testifies: its condition shows that it was stuffed for several decades on the walls of the house. The card was sent by an 18-year-old Minervois winemaker's daughter to her parents on June 8, 1907, before the great demonstration in Montpellier. The legend printed on the back of the map shows the increasing number of protesters at the meetings of Lezignan (25,000), Narbonne (80,000), Beziers (150,000), Perpignan (185,000), Carcassonne (200,000), Nimes (300,000), Montpellier (800,000). The surprising thing is that the Montpellier figure is given, whereas the card was printed before the demonstration! Manuscript text of the map: “” Have a good trip - find accommodation - many protesters. Good welcome from the city. (Don't worry)
