Sue and stamps
modifierIn the novel L’Avarice/Les millionnaires (part of the series Les Sept Péchés capitaux, 1847-1852) by Eugène Sue, at the end of chapter 1, a letter arrives and the recipient is surprised that postage has not been prepaid, but he has to pay for receiving it. When was this novel published? (A Danish translation was published in 1851.) According to Timbre postal, postage stamps were introduced in France on January 1, 1849. So does this book present a technical novelty? --LA2 (discuter) 5 mai 2023 à 21:56 (CEST)
- Eugène Sue a beaucoup publié en feuilletons dans les journaux de l'époque (comme tous les auteurs de l'époque). Donc cela doit dater de 1847-1852.

- Eugène Sue published a lot of soap operas in the newspapers of the time (like all the authors of the time). so this must date from 1847-1852. --Serged/♥ 6 mai 2023 à 07:40 (CEST)
- Bonjour à tous. "Le roman L’Avarice est publié pour la première fois en première page dans le feuilleton du Siècle et non du Constitutionnel entre le 26 juin et le 2 août 1851, avec quelques interruptions." (The gist is that it was first serialized in Le Siècle between June 26 and August 2, 1851.) --Antiquary (discuter) 6 mai 2023 à 23:12 (CEST)
- Thanks! In Gallica, I could only find a printing from 1852. But the Internet Archive has one from 1851 (first part, second part) and this one from 1850 (perhaps incorrect? I don't see the year in print, only in the metadata). --LA2 (discuter) 7 mai 2023 à 01:58 (CEST)
