EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of Alphonse Baudin on the Barricade of Faubourg Saint-Antoine on December 3rd, 1851. In this colorful lithograph by the French School, we witness a powerful scene that symbolizes the struggle for political freedom and social justice during the Second Republic in France. Alphonse Baudin, a renowned doctor and political figure, dedicated his life to caring for the impoverished. Following Prince-President Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte's coup d'état and dissolution of the National Assembly, Baudin bravely penned a manifesto condemning these actions. It was dictated to him by none other than Victor Hugo himself. Tragically, it was on this very barricade that Baudin met his untimely demise while attempting to incite rebellion among the workers of Faubourg Saint-Antoine. His final words echo through history: "You will see how one dies for twenty-five francs per day". This poignant phrase encapsulates both his unwavering commitment to fighting for equality and his sacrifice in pursuit of justice. The image not only showcases Baudin's bravery but also highlights the resilience and determination of Parisian workers during this tumultuous time. The presence of soldiers surrounding them serves as a reminder of their ongoing struggle against oppression. Preserved in Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris, France, this photograph is an invaluable piece of historical documentation capturing a pivotal moment in French history. It stands as a testament to individuals like Alphonse Baudin who dared to challenge authority and fight for what they believed in – even at great personal cost.
