Notes

  • Author's note: In 1790 the French National Assembly, dreaming of a France without beggars, asked every municipality in France to supply details of citizens in want. Not only the cities, but thousands of small, semi-literate rural communities like Volognat (administratively subject to district capitals like Nantua) filled in the forms with agonised care. A clumsy Volognat pen has scrawled a final comment across their page.
