French Parnassian poet and critic Paul Armand Silvestre served as Under Chief in the Bureau of Finance in charge of the archives.

Among his best-known poetic works is Rimes Neuves et Vieilles, published with a preface by George Sand in 1866" (New York Times). Silvestre's varied production is hardly complete without mention of his art criticism, which took the form of Le Nu au Salon (1888-1892), in five volumes, with numerous illustrations.
