Les modèles de guillotine...

J'ai bien-sur un interet particulier sur ce sujet...

Mon site est bourre de photos de mes propre modeles mais j'ai aussi quelques photos d'autres modeles que j'ai glane un peu partout, certain de ces modeles ayant un interet historique. Si vous avez des photos de modeles de guillotine interessants voici un forum ou les placer.

Voici une paire de photos du meme modele a pres de 50 ans d'ecart... C'est aussi le meme homme (Fernand Meysonnier) dans les deux photos.

only "aurora kit" instruction :-(

Un modele datant du debut du siecle. Acajou et laiton. Le mecanisme et la poulie sont tres precis, presque identique a l'original. La traverse entre les montants est manquante.

Un modele fantaisie tres bien realize par David Cellitti.

Le modèle en acajou et laiton est en vente sur internet, isn't it? But your replicas are nicer and more accurate!

Vous avez raison, il a ete vendu sur eBay il ya un mois pour environ 3,000 Euros a un collectioneur Americain... et merci pour le compliment.

quite fine kitchen ;-)
it is yours?

No, the models are at a collector's house in Australia. The model on the left is one of mine and the one on the right is made by Robert Opie, the author of "Guillotine, Timbers of Justice".
Just a nice side-by-side shot of the work of two people taking different routes and arriving at almost the same place.

What is the scale for the both?

Very convenient in a kitchen to cut carrots!

Les deux modeles sont au 1/6eme. Hauteur environ 75cm.

Hi piotr,
I went to the Musée Carnavalet yesterday and saw these two bone-made models. In the same room is exhibited another wooden miniature model (revolution model, not the Berger one, about 1/6 I think, might be a bit bigger). There were also paintings of exécutions (Louis XVI, Marie Antoinette...). Next time I take my camera with me...

==========================================
BTW what about Musée de la Préfecture de police also in Paris ?
Try to visit that museum too....

I think this is the model you saw?

Un autre modele inspire par la guillotine dans le film "Tale of two cities" d'apres le roman de Dickens.

Et une autre guillotine fantaisie par David Cellitti.

Pourquoi n'y a-t-il que Bois de Justice qui sache faire une guillotine digne de ce nom ?

Les autres modèles sont sympathiques, mais tellement éloignés de la réalité que c'en est ridicule.

Bois de Justice rules !

Voici 3 photos de modeles Berger au 1/6eme construit par Robert Opie. Je pense que ca prouve que Robert sait construire des modeles de guillotine au moins aussi authentiques que les miens.

Yes, indeed, that's the one!

I went back to the Musée Carnavalet, with my camera, and took pictures of everything you can see there about the guillotine.

Also, I added a photo of the nice beer I had at home after that (elle vous "coupe" littéralement la soif)

I have no idea about windlass... Real construction from XVIII century or artistic imagine only?

http://www.steilen.nl/objects/guillo2.html

The models with the windlass are pure fiction... probably originating from an artist's depiction of the guillotine in a late 1700's British engraving. This has carried through to the amazing guillotine in the movie "A tale of two cities" which then has been copied by many model builders.

You can see a picture of a great model, made by David Cellitti, of the guillotine from the movie in one of my links above.
