A Haunting Glimpse into Paris Before the Commune: An Aerial View of the City in 1871, Just Before the Tuileries Palace Facade Was Reportedly Destroyed This aerial view of Paris, taken in 1871, offers a hauntingly beautiful perspective of the city just before the tumultuous events of the Commune. The image, now a historical treasure from Mary Evans Picture Library, reveals the grandeur of Paris from an elevated vantage point, with the Tuileries Palace standing proudly in the foreground. However, this tranquil scene was about to be shattered. Reports had begun to circulate that the Tuileries Palace facade, a symbol of the French monarchy and an architectural masterpiece, had been destroyed. The palace, located between the Louvre Museum and the Place de la Concorde, had been a royal residence for centuries and was a significant target during the Paris Commune of 1871. The Commune, a period of radical social and political upheaval, saw the working classes of Paris rise up against the French government. The Tuileries Palace became a focal point of the conflict, and on May 21, 1871, it was stormed by the National Guard. The palace was set ablaze, and the once magnificent facade was reduced to rubble. This aerial view, taken just before the destruction, serves as a poignant reminder of the history and beauty of Paris that was lost during the Commune. The Tuileries Palace, a symbol of the French monarchy and a testament to the city's rich architectural heritage, was forever changed by the events of 1871.
