EDITORS COMMENTS
Exiled Communards 2: Living as Best They Can (1872) - A poignant snapshot of French communist refugees in London following the collapse of the Paris Commune. The Paris Commune, a revolutionary government established in France in 1871, marked a significant turning point in the country's political history. After the Commune's defeat by the French Army, thousands of communards were forced to flee their homeland, seeking refuge in various European cities. London, with its vibrant French community and relatively tolerant political climate, became a popular destination for these exiles. In this evocative image, a group of communard families are seen huddled together in a cramped and dimly lit room. The air is thick with the scent of wood smoke and the sound of children's laughter drifts in from the background. Despite the harsh conditions, there is a sense of camaraderie and resilience among the refugees. The women, clad in shawls and aprons, are busy preparing a meal, while the men engage in animated conversation. The children, dressed in tattered clothes, play with makeshift toys, oblivious to the hardships around them. The collapse of the Commune had left these families with little more than the clothes on their backs and the hope of a better future. But even in the face of adversity, they continued to cling to their ideals and to live as best they could. This poignant image serves as a powerful reminder of the human spirit's ability to endure and adapt, even in the most challenging of circumstances.
