EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Universal Suffrage, 1850" by Frederic Sorrieu, takes us back to a significant moment in history. The image showcases the struggle for democracy and the fight for equal rights during the mid-19th century. In this print, we see Alexandre Ledru-Rollin, a prominent French politician and statesman of that era, leaning on the Tree of Liberty as a symbol of freedom. To his right stand Barbes, Blanc, and Louis Adolphe Thiers - individuals who played crucial roles in advocating for electoral reform. Through their collective efforts and determination, they aimed to establish universal suffrage and ensure that every citizen had an equal voice in shaping their nation's future. The artist skillfully captures the essence of this pivotal time through intricate details within the engraving. Each deputy is depicted with utmost precision while casting their vote - a powerful representation of democratic principles at work. Displayed at Musee de la Ville de Paris in Musee Carnavalet, Paris, France; this artwork serves as a reminder of our enduring quest for liberty and equality. It reminds us how far we have come since then but also highlights the ongoing struggle worldwide to secure these fundamental human rights. This lithograph not only commemorates historical figures but also stands as an allegorical testament to mankind's unyielding pursuit of justice and democracy throughout history.
