 This newspaper evokes the function of Richard Gallo who came that year to enter as a journalist in the conservative and republican newspaper, "The Constitutional" which his brother-in-law, Alcide Grandguillo, is the owner.However, if you look closely, this unfolded newspaper is not Le Constitutionnel, but a new competitor recently launched, Le Figaro, as an allusion to the competitive world of the French press of that time and the new law of 1881 on the freedom of the press which caused great debate that year.Richard Gallo then lived at 40 rue du Rocher in Paris, near the apartment of Gustave Caillebotte and his brother Martial of 31 Boulevard Haussmann, in a modern and prestigious district inhabited by the upper middle class of finance.
