EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in the streets of Barcelona, where a barricade stands as a symbol of resistance and unrest. The image dates back to 1902 when the city was engulfed by serious orders following a strike decision at its port. What started as an initial movement soon transformed into a full-blown emeute, or uprising, as anarchist and Carlist agitators joined forces with the striking workers. The engraving featured in "Le petit journal" on September 3rd, 1902, depicts the intensity of this tumultuous event. However, it also highlights the brutal response from civil guards who harshly repressed the rioters, leading to numerous casualties. The significance of this photograph lies not only in its historical context but also in its representation of social struggles and political tensions during that era. It serves as a reminder of how collective action can ignite change while facing adversity and repression. Preserved within the Selva Collection, this print offers us an invaluable glimpse into Barcelona's past. Leonard de Selva has captured this powerful image with great skill and sensitivity, allowing viewers to connect with history through visual storytelling.
