EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history - the Proclamation of the Second Republic during the Revolution of 1848. The image depicts Alphonse de Lamartine, a prominent figure of that time, delivering a powerful speech at the City Hall of Paris on February 25th, 1848. Lamartine is seen passionately refusing to accept the red flag as the emblem of the Republic and instead advocating for the tricolour flag. Illustrated by Louis Charles Bombled, this artwork from Merciers' "The Great Days of City Hall" beautifully portrays Lamartine's rejection of the red flag amidst an atmosphere charged with revolutionary fervor. The composition exudes a sense of intensity and determination as Lamartine stands before an attentive crowd, his words resonating with conviction. This photograph offers us a glimpse into one of France's most significant historical moments - when ideals clashed and choices were made that would shape its future. It symbolizes not only Lamartine's unwavering belief in unity but also reflects broader debates surrounding national identity and symbolism during this transformative period. Preserved in private collection by Bombled himself, this rare piece serves as both a visual testament to an important event in French history and as a reminder that symbols hold immense power in shaping nations. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are transported back to that fateful day when Alphonse de Lamartine boldly rejected tradition while paving the way for change.
