Eugène Charles Jeanne?  I think?  Someone who was tried for defending the Saint-Merry barricade, anyway:

Saint-Martin barricade, Feb. ‘48.  This is the insurrection that overthrew the July Monarchy.

Detail from the above:

The Saint-Antoine barricade in June ‘48.  This is when Hugo was directing artillery against the workers who were fighting the Second Republic:

And, uh, prisoners being carted off from the Bicêtre.  Because I didn’t know what other set to put it with.  Note that the artist is himself a convict:
