Measuring at 6.3x10.5 cm, this small yet powerful image transports us back to a time of political upheaval and revolution. It serves as a reminder of the bravery and determination exhibited by members of the Commune who fought for their ideals.

The clarity and detail captured in this daguerreotype demonstrate Carjat's mastery as an artist. As we observe this historic photograph, we are reminded not only of France's rich cultural heritage but also its complex political past. This piece serves as a testament to the power of photography as an art form capable of preserving moments that shaped our world. With permission from Archivio Arici, this print is now available for all history enthusiasts to appreciate and reflect upon.
