1871 Barricade Commune Concorde Constructed Junction Massive Rivoli
EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the massive barricade that stood at the junction of the rue de Rivoli and the place de la Concorde in Paris during the events of the Paris Commune in 1871. The Paris Commune was a revolutionary government that ruled Paris from March 18 to May 28, 1871, following the Franco-Prussian War and the abdication of Napoleon III. The barricade, constructed of cobblestones, timber, and other materials, was a symbol of the determination and resilience of the Commune's defenders. It was erected to protect against the advancing French army, which sought to quell the uprising. The barricade at the rue de Rivoli and place de la Concorde was one of the most famous and iconic of the Commune's barricades, as it was located in the heart of Paris and near many of the city's most famous landmarks. The photograph provides a glimpse into a pivotal moment in French history, showcasing the immense scale of the barricade and the dedication of the Commune's defenders. The image also serves as a reminder of the tumultuous political climate of the time and the sacrifices made in the name of revolution and change. The rue de Rivoli is a major thoroughfare in Paris, known for its luxury shops and cultural institutions. The place de la Concorde is one of the city's most famous public squares, home to the Obelisk of Luxor and the Fontaine des Mers. The junction of these two iconic Parisian landmarks was the site of many significant historical events, including the execution of King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette during the French Revolution. This photograph is a valuable historical document, offering a unique perspective on a pivotal moment in French history. It is a reminder of the power of the people and the enduring impact of revolutionary movements on the world stage.
