EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the toppling of the Colonne Vendome during the Paris Commune of 1871. Taken by a French photographer in the 19th century, this image showcases the destruction and revolution that swept through France during this time. The Colonne Vendome, located on what was formerly known as Conquests Square, Louis the Great Square, and Pikes Square under different periods of French history, was toppled on May 16,1871. This act symbolized rebellion against authority and marked a turning point in the Commune of Paris. The photograph highlights not only the demolition of an architectural monument but also serves as a testament to art's power to capture historical moments. The square shape of the column contrasts with its damaged state, emphasizing both its former grandeur and current state of ruin. In addition to showcasing this pivotal event in European history, this print also reflects upon tools used for work. It hints at how even seemingly indestructible structures can be brought down with multi-function tools or toolkits. Overall, this image offers viewers a glimpse into one particular moment within France's complex past - an era defined by revolution and change.
