Le Père Duchesne (19th century)

Le Fils du Père Duchêne (French: [lə pɛʁ dyʃɛːn]; "The Son of Old Man Duchesne") is the title of a newspaper which appeared in France during revolutionary periods of the nineteenth century.

It borrowed its title from the original Père Duchesne published by Jacques Hébert during the French Revolution.

After Hébert's death, the title reappeared with all sorts of variations (Old Lady Duchesne, Son of Père Duchêne, etc.)

from the 1790s on, notably during the Revolution of 1848 and the Paris Commune of 1871 (in editions by publishers Eugène Vermersch, Maxime Vuillaume, and Alphonse Humbert).
