Victor Jaclard

Charles Victor Jaclard (1840–1903) was a French revolutionary socialist, a member of the First International and of the Paris Commune.

Charles Victor Jaclard came from a humble working-class family, but, as a precocious student, he was given a good education.

After working as a military nurse and then a mathematics teacher, he moved to Paris in 1864 to pursue further studies in medicine.

He soon fell in with the followers of the veteran revolutionary Louis Auguste Blanqui and joined the Blanquists' secret society.
