Jean Baptiste Marius Augustin Challamel

Jean Baptiste Marius Augustin Challamel (March 18, 1818October 20, 1894) was a French historian.

Challamel was born in Paris. His writings consist chiefly of popular works, which enjoyed great success. The value of some of his books is enhanced by numerous illustrations, e.g. "Histoire-muse de la Revolution française", which appeared in 50 numbers in 1841–1842 (3rd ed., in 72 numbers, 1857–1858); "Histoire de la mode en France; la toilette des femmes depuis l'epoque gallo-romaine jusqud nos fours" (1874, with 12 plates; new ed., 1880, with 21 colored plates). His "Mémoires du peuple française" (1865–1873) and "La France et les Français a travers les sicles" (1882) at least have the merit of being among the first books written on the social history of France. In this sense Challamel was a pioneer, of no great originality, it is true, but at any rate of fairly wide information. He died on October 20, 1894.
