The periods of Restoration and Regeneration in Swiss history lasted from 1814 to 1847. "Restoration" is the period of 1814 to 1830, the restoration of the Ancien Régime (federalism), reverting the changes imposed by Napoleon Bonaparte on the centralist Helvetic Republic from 1798 and the partial reversion to the old system with the Act of Mediation of 1803. "Regeneration" is the period of 1830 to 1848, when in the wake of the July Revolution the "restored" Ancien Régime was countered by the liberal movement. In the Protestant cantons, the rural population enforced liberal cantonal constitutions, partly in armed marches on the cities. This resulted in a conservative backlash in the Catholic cantons in the 1830s, raising the conflict to the point of civil war by 1847.

Histoire de Mr. Vieux-Bois (also known as Les amours de Mr. Vieux-Bois, or simply Mr. Vieux-Bois), published in English as The Adventures of Mr. Obadiah Oldbuck (sometimes referred to simply as Obadiah Oldbuck), is a 19th-century publication written and illustrated by the Swiss caricaturist Rodolphe Töpffer.
It was created in 1827 and published first in Geneva, Switzerland in 1837 as Histoire de Mr. Vieux-Bois, then in London in 1841 by Tilt and Bogue editions as the book The Adventures of Mr. Obadiah Oldbuck, and then in New York, U.S., in a newspaper supplement titled Brother Jonathan Extra No. IX (September 14, 1842), followed by an 1849 republication as a book titled The Adventures of Mr. Obadiah Oldbuck, published in New York by Wilson & Co. The English-language editions were unlicensed copies of the original work as they were done without Töpffer's authorization.
