EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a powerful moment in history - the barricade in the Rue de Flandre during the Commune of Paris on 18th March 1871. Taken by an anonymous French photographer from the 19th century, this image is now housed at Musee de la Ville de Paris, Musee Carnavalet in Paris, France. The photograph showcases a scene of chaos and resistance as revolutionaries known as communards take to the streets. The cobbled road is blocked by makeshift barricades constructed with whatever materials were available at hand. This symbolizes their determination to fight against oppression and injustice. Intriguingly, this particular barricade is identified as "salle de la Marseillaise" suggesting that it was a significant stronghold for the insurgents during this period of insurrection that lasted from 18th March to 20th May 1871. The image offers a glimpse into the intensity of these events, with soldiers from both sides visible amidst smoke-filled air. It serves as a reminder of how ordinary citizens can rise up against oppressive regimes when pushed too far. As we observe this historic photograph today, we are reminded not only of its artistic value but also its historical significance. It stands as a testament to human resilience and courage in times of turmoil and upheaval.
