This 513 Rue Saint-Nicaise (only Nicaise during the revolutionary period) was the address of the Magasin de l'opéra (Opera House's storeroom- at that time the Opera house was Porte Saint-Martin, nowadays Théâtre de la Porte Saint-Martin), also called Hôtel de l'Académie royale de musique before the revolution. After the revolution it was the head office of Etienne Charles who published many political books (among them the well-known Moniteur).
In the so-called "revolutionary deck" we find indeed these two trends that I've begun to discuss in my thread :
- a trend linked to opera and theater
- a political trend that refers to real historical players or events of 18th century's France and Russia.
The building was located near la Place du Carrousel, thus very near Les Tuileries, centre of the power in Louis XVI's last years and beyond.
