EDITORS COMMENTS
"This evocative photograph captures the spirit of the French Revolution as Parisians and Parisiennes celebrate the storming of the Bastille on the streets of Paris on 14 July 1880. The image, taken in the late 19th century, depicts a lively scene of people of all ages and classes coming together in jubilation, united by the historical significance of the event that marked the beginning of the French Revolution in 1789. The Bastille, a symbol of royal tyranny and oppression, had been stormed by an angry mob of Parisians on 14 July 1789, marking a turning point in the revolution. The people's victory over the fortress had sparked a wave of enthusiasm and hope for a better future, leading to the establishment of the First French Republic. In this photograph, taken a century later, the people of Paris are seen dancing in the streets, their faces filled with joy and excitement. The scene is reminiscent of the famous painting "The Liberation of the Bastille" by Eugène Delacroix, which depicts the storming of the Bastille during the revolution. The photograph, taken in 1921, is a testament to the enduring significance of the French Revolution and the power of the human spirit to rise up against oppression and injustice. It serves as a reminder of the importance of celebrating our history and the values that have shaped our world." This photograph is a valuable historical document, offering a glimpse into the past and the collective memory of a people. It is a scene of social unity and joy, a moment frozen in time, and a reminder of the power of the human spirit to triumph over adversity. The photograph is part of the extensive collection of historical images at Mary Evans Picture Library, a leading provider of high-quality historical and cultural images for educational, research, and creative projects.
