EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in French history - the proclamation of the Republic of France on September 4th, 1870. The image showcases Leon Gambetta, a prominent politician and statesman, passionately addressing a jubilant crowd in Paris. The context surrounding this event is crucial to understanding its significance. Following the disastrous defeat of the French by the Prussians at Sedan and the capture of Napoleon III, General Jules Trochu and Gambetta took charge, overthrowing the Second Empire and establishing a Government of National Defence. This marked the birth of what would become known as the Third Republic. In this scene filled with excitement and optimism, flags proudly wave high above heads adorned with patriotic fervor. The tricolor flag symbolizes unity among citizens who have come together to fight for their country's freedom during times of war. Leon Gambetta stands tall as he proclaims his dedication to liberty and democracy, inspiring those around him with his powerful speech. His words echo through Paris as rebellion against oppression fills hearts with hope for a brighter future. This monochrome engraving from La France et les Francais a Travers les Siecles serves as an enduring testament to an era defined by revolution and resilience. It reminds us that even in moments of darkness, there is always room for change and progress towards a better tomorrow.
