REVOLUTIONARY ADMINISTRATION

This proclamation of 25 Nivose An 4 (15 January 1796) provides actual signatures of the seven members of the revolutionary administration of Bas-Rhin, at Strasbourg. The signatories were Camille Barbier (President), G. Michel Treiber, Louis Lentz, Louis Liechtlé, J. Chrétien Hübschmann, J. Francois André (executive commissioner of the Directoire), and Antoine Fiesse (secretary general). Examples were sent to all other departments (this one was mailed to the Dept de la Loire) so that revolutionary orders and communications from other fraternal departments could be verified as being authentic and genuine, rather than forgeries by counter-revolutionary imposters.
