EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant image captures the sorrowful moment of a veteran of Napoleon Bonaparte's campaigns as he mourns the destruction of the Vendome Column in Paris on May 8, 1871. The column, a symbol of the previous regime, had been toppled by the Communards, a radical political faction who saw it as a representation of the oppressive rule of the Bourbon monarchy and the Second Empire. The French Revolution of 1871 had led to the establishment of the Paris Commune, a short-lived socialist government that ruled the city from March 18 to May 28, 1871. The Vendome Column, located in the Place Vendome, was a monumental tribute to Napoleon I, the French military and political leader who ruled the First French Empire from 1804 until his abdication in 1814. The column, designed by the architect Jacques Ignace Hittorff and sculptor Jean-Baptiste Claude Eugène Marionneau, was completed in 1810 and stood as a symbol of Napoleon's military victories and imperial power. However, after the fall of the Second Empire in 1870 and the establishment of the Third Republic, the Vendome Column became a target for the Communards, who saw it as a reminder of the past and a symbol of the oppressive regimes they had fought against. On May 8, 1871, the column was brought down by a crowd of Communards, using explosives and heavy machinery. The veteran in this photograph, deeply moved by the loss of this historic monument, stands alone in the ruins, reflecting on the events that had led to its destruction.
