1830 1871 Bastille Colonne Commemorating Communards Commune Juillet Revolution

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the Colonne de Juillet, or July Column, in the heart of Paris's Place de la Bastille, adorned with the red flags and tricolor banners of the Communards during the tumultuous events of March 1871. The July Column, a monument commemorating the 1830 revolution that toppled King Charles X, stands as a symbol of French revolutionary spirit. However, the tranquility of the monument's usual appearance was shattered during the Paris Commune, a brief period of radical social and political upheaval that took place from March 18 to May 28, 1871. During this time, the Communards, a revolutionary government established in Paris, seized control of the city and implemented a series of radical reforms. The July Column, like many other symbols of the old regime, became a focal point for the revolutionary zeal of the Communards. They decorated the monument with red flags and tricolor banners, the colors of the French Revolution, to celebrate the revolutionary spirit and their newfound power. This photograph offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in French history, when the ideals of the French Revolution were once again brought to the forefront of political discourse. The image serves as a reminder of the enduring power of revolutionary fervor and the capacity for radical change that exists within the hearts and minds of the people.
