Jean Baptiste Marius Augustin Challamel
1911 Encyclopedia Britannica
or JEAN BAPTISTE MARIUS AUGUSTIN CHALLAMEL (1818-1894), French historian, was born in Paris on the 18th of March 1818. His writings consist chiefly of popular works, which enjoyed great success. The value of some of his books is enhanced by numerous illustrations, e.g. Histoire-musee de la Revolution francaise, which appeared in 50 numbers in1841-1842(3rd ed., in 72 numbers, 1857-1858); Histoire de la mode en France; la toilette des femmes depuis gallo-romaine jusqu'd. nos jours (1874, with 12 plates; new ed., 1880, with 21 coloured plates). His Memoires du peuple francaise (1865-1873) and La France et les Frangais a travers les siecles (1882) at least have the merit of being among the first books written on the social history of France. In this sense Challamel was a pioneer, of no great originality, it is true, but at any rate of fairly wide information. He died on the 10th of October 1894.
