1871 Butte Coeur Communards Commune Defences Establish Mont Martre Position Sacre Slopes Stands Today
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history as the Communards establish their position on the slopes of Montmartre, where Sacré-Cœur now stands. The year is 1871, and tensions are high as the Commune of Paris takes control of the city in defiance of the French government. The image shows a group of determined individuals marching towards their defensive positions, ready to defend their beliefs and ideals.
The Butte de Montmartre serves as a strategic location for the Communards, offering them a vantage point over the city below. As they set up their defenses, one can only imagine the intensity of emotions running through their veins - fear, determination, hope.
Today, Sacré-Cœur stands tall on this very spot, serving as a reminder of the events that unfolded here over a century ago. The historical significance of this location cannot be understated; it is a symbol of resistance and revolution.
This print by Rights Managed transports us back in time to witness firsthand the bravery and conviction of those who fought for what they believed in. It is a powerful reminder that history is not just something we read about in books - it is alive and tangible, etched into every stone and cobblestone on these historic slopes.
