Le Conventionnel Merlin de Thionville (1843)

Nicolas Toussaint Charlet: Le conventionnel Merlin de Thionville à l'armée du Rhin

An attempt at Google-translating this title yields "The Conventional Merlin de Thionville in the Army of the Rhine," which doesn't make much sense. "Conventionnel" must have another meaning that Google doesn't know (thank God they don't know everything yet!).

Is it just me or does this guy have kind of a monkey face?

  1. Conventionnel means member of the Convention, that is the revolutionary parliament.
