Summary "L'Illustration, No. 2504, 21 février 1891" by Various is a historical publication written in the late 19th century. This issue serves as a snapshot of society, culture, and politics of its time, focusing on conversations around notable figures, events, and societal norms in France. It brings to light contemporary issues such as the fascination with historical characters like Talleyrand and Marat, as well as current curiosities about Russian expatriates and the political climate of the era. At the start of this edition, the writer discusses the overwhelming media attention on figures from the past, particularly Talleyrand, and the recent controversy surrounding the removal of a statue of Marat. The narrative explores the societal inclination towards retrospective debates, highlighting the popularity of historical figures in public discourse. It also introduces the Cossack Achinoff, who has become a figure of intrigue in Paris, reflecting on the nature of curiosity and the cultural exchanges between France and Russia, while mocking the challenges faced by reporters eager to interview him. The opening sets a tone of wit and commentary on the peculiarities of Parisian society at the time. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
