1830 Barricade Carried Casualty Revolution Victim
EDITORS COMMENTS
July Revolution: A Casualty Carried Away from the Barricades, 1830, Mary Evans Picture Library The image captures a poignant moment during the July Revolution in France, which took place from July 27 to August 29, 1830. The revolution, also known as the Three Glorious Days, was a pivotal event in French history that led to the overthrow of King Charles X and the establishment of a new monarchy under Louis-Philippe I. In this photograph, a casualty is being carried away from a barricade, surrounded by a crowd of onlookers. The man's clothes are disheveled, and his face is etched with pain and exhaustion. The barricade, made of wooden crates and other debris, looms in the background, a testament to the intensity of the fighting that had taken place. The July Revolution was sparked by widespread discontent with the monarchy's policies, including high taxes, censorship, and repression of political dissent. The revolutionaries, led by various political factions, took to the streets to demand change. The fighting was intense, with both sides suffering heavy casualties. This photograph is a powerful reminder of the human cost of the July Revolution. It also serves as a testament to the resilience and determination of the people of France in their quest for political change. The events of July 1830 would shape the course of French history for decades to come, leading to the establishment of a constitutional monarchy and the eventual rise of the Third Republic. The photograph is part of the extensive collection of historical images available at Mary Evans Picture Library. It offers a unique glimpse into the past, allowing us to bear witness to the events that shaped the world we live in today.
