Adventures and exploit of the voltigeur Canivet

ADVENTURES AND EXPLOIT OF THE VOLTIGEUR CANIVET TOLD BY HIM EVEN.

This time still, they are the cousins Jean-Pierre and Nicolle CAREL-CANIVET Lineage 063 who inform us of this fabulous history.

*******************************************************

During the visit of a museum of the extile industry in Alsace in 2000, we had had the surprise to see there this scarf which told the adventures of Canivet! We find finally the time to deepen subject. The scarf presented in this museum was lent for the time of the exhibition. It was necessary for us to make a tour of France – phone – to find it. A substantial file is in preparation. In the meantime, we communicate you these some notes.

THE ILLUSTRATED SCARF
These squares of printed tissues called ” Handkerchiefs illustrated with Rouen ” knew a big fashion in 19-th century. One wore them tied up around the neck for the people (Handkerchief of neck) or put on and crossed in the cut out the neck for the women (Scarf). They are decorated with a drawing in the centre which represents an illustrious person or an event of world current events. They are often chosen to express opinions.
That of our hero Jean CANIVET was printed at the time of the war of Crimea.
The eleven stanzae of a funny song which fustigate the enemies of then and highlight the voltigeur Jean CANIVET, native of Pontoise, are of a local entertainer, and are printed on the scarf.

THE WAR OF CRIMEA
The 1-st Czar Nicolas not having obtained any Ottoman Empire the protectorate of the Orthodox in Turkey, he crossed the Danube in the troops and destroyed an Ottoman squadron to Sinope, port of the North of Anatolie on the Black Sea, in November. On 1853.
This entailed the declaration of war of France, England and Piémont allied in Turkey against Russia
French engaged voltigeur, light and mobile foot soldiers.
Conflict lasted two years ( 1854-55 ). A peace treaty was signed on May 30, 1856 in Paris.

JEAN CANIVET
Our searches to find Jean Canivet did not succeed at the moment!
But it is fascinating! That is why we have not yet cast the toweling!
We shall inform you
At the moment, we suggest so to our Big Family to open for Jean Canivet a new lineage: the Virtual Cousins.

Jean-Pierre and Nicolle CAREL-CANIVET.
