1871 Assemblee Bordeaux Commune Control Housed Nationale
EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the tumultuous events of the Franco-Prussian War and the Paris Commune, the French Government found refuge in the grandiose setting of the Grand-Théâtre in Bordeaux. In the chaotic month of April-May 1871, as Paris was under the control of the radical Commune, the National Assembly, or Assemblée Nationale, convened in Bordeaux to restore order and rebuild the nation. The Grand-Théâtre, a magnificent architectural masterpiece, served as an unlikely yet fitting venue for the Assembly. Its ornate columns, intricate frescoes, and spacious auditorium provided an impressive backdrop for the important political proceedings. The print captures a moment in history, with dignitaries and politicians in formal attire, engrossed in heated debates and discussions, as they worked tirelessly to find a solution to the crisis. The relocation of the French Government to Bordeaux was a significant turning point in the aftermath of the Franco-Prussian War and the Paris Commune. It marked the beginning of a new chapter in French history, as the country struggled to rebuild and reclaim its identity. The Grand-Théâtre, with its grandeur and historical significance, became a symbol of resilience and hope during these challenging times. This print offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in French history, providing a unique perspective on the political landscape of the late 19th century. It serves as a reminder of the enduring spirit of the French people, who, even in the face of adversity, continued to work towards a brighter future for their nation.
