EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the Fall of the column in the Place Vendome, Paris, 1871. The engraving by French School from the 19th century showcases the destruction of this iconic political symbol during the Commune of Paris from March to May 1871. Led by Gustave Courbet, Communards tore down this monumental structure which was later restored between 1873-74. Inspired by Trajan's Column in Rome, it stood tall as a representation of power and authority until its fateful demise. The image portrays a scene filled with rebellion and revolt. Parisians wave flags while cheering on seamen who stand alongside sailors armed with bayonets. The fallen column lies amidst walls adorned with cannons, emphasizing both destruction and defiance. Intriguingly, this photograph not only documents an act of insurrection but also serves as a testament to social unrest during that era. It reflects the spirit of socialist ideals embraced by many at that time. As we gaze upon this historic moment frozen in time, we are reminded of how symbols can be torn down but also rebuilt. This powerful image invites us to contemplate the complexities of revolution and rebellion while appreciating its artistic value captured through Robes Bodin's lens and Studio Giraudon's expertise.
