I now have a half-working flatbed scanner. Half-working, you say? Well, yes. It had no problem scanning a nifty map of Paris from before the rue de la Chanvrerie got obliterated, but the minute I tried to put in a drawing of a dead!Eponine, it croaked on me. Go figure. Maybe it doesn't like gamines.
In any case, here is said map (it's the last item on this page if the hotlinking protection kicks in and won't let you use the first link). The spot where the barricade was constructed is highlighted in red. It's of the so-called "insurrectionary quarter" of Paris, the area surrounding the rues Saint-Martin and Saint-Denis, and comes from 1849, before the Haussmann renovations destroyed that nicely labyrinthine section and replaced it with the rue Rambuteau. Shiny, ne? Even if nearly illegible. [If anyone, god forbid, wants a higher-res version, just ask. I actually had to resize it substantially to bring it down to 768x1024.]
Did a fairly massive update to the website, but aside from the map, most of it's nothing you haven't seen before. The updates are listed on the main page if you're interested.
