Pupil of his father engraver then of PATEY at École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Won the Premier Grand Prix de Rome de gravure en médailles in 1923. He was general engraver at la Monnaie from 1930 until 1958. The February 1848 revolution put an end to the July monarchy (1830-1848), replaced by the Second Republic (1848-1852), while the June Days Uprising gave a lethal blow to the hopes of a "Social and Democratic Republic" ("la République sociale et démocratique", or "La Sociale"). On December 2, 1851, Louis Napoleon put an end to the Republic by a coup d'état, dissolving the National Assembly without any constitutional right to do so and proclaiming the Second Empire (1852-1870) the next year. The Second Republic, however, is best remembered for having first established male universal suffrage and for Victor Schoelcher's abolition of slavery on April 27, 1848. The February Revolution also established the principle of the "right to work", and decided to establish "national workshops" for the unemployed. At the same time a sort of industrial parliament was established at the Luxembourg Palace, under the presidency of Louis Blanc, with the object of preparing a scheme for the organization of labour. These tensions between liberal Orleanist and Radical Republicans and Socialists caused the second, June Revolution.
