Cette histoire qui a fait l'Alsace #8

The eighth volume of this engaging French-language historical comics series brings the story of Alsace into its long era as a province of the Kingdom of France, spanning 1698 to 1792. The cover sets the scene beautifully, with elegantly dressed figures in period costume gathered before a grand 18th-century building, while smaller vignettes along the right edge hint at the rich variety of life — courtly scenes, colorful regional dress, and rural settings — that fill the era. Published by Éditions du Signe in 2012, this chapter by Marie-Thérèse Fischer and Christophe Carmona promises the same accessible, warmly illustrated approach to Alsatian history that has made the series such a rewarding read.
