Fine Art Prints from Heritage Images
Departure of Prisoners from the Abbaye, at Paris, 1850. Creator: Unknown
Departure of Prisoners from the Abbaye, at Paris, 1850. One of the results of the recent Socialist movement in Paris was the conviction of eighty-three soldiers, for having deposited crowns at the Bastille. They were sentenced to be transported to Algeria; and the scene which our Artist has sketched, shows the party on foot, on their way from the Military Prison of the Abbey to the Railway Station. They were escorted by cavalry and foot; and the crowd strongly sympathised with them by shaking hands with them. Women might be seen begging alms, linen, provisions, &c. from the persons at the balconies and windows: the police attempted to remove them. Children got between the legs of the escort, who, however, did not repel them: in short, every mark of sympathy is shown to the prisoners on their way through the quartier, and from every class of persons'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850

This image, titled 'Departure of Prisoners from the Abbaye, at Paris, 1850,' portrays a poignant moment in Parisian history. The photograph, created by an unknown artist, captures the scene of eighty-three soldiers, convicted for depositing crowns at the Bastille during the Socialist movement, making their way from the Military Prison of the Abbaye to the Railway Station for transportation to Algeria. The soldiers, escorted by cavalry and foot, are shown surrounded by a sympathetic crowd. Women are seen begging for alms, linen, and provisions from the balconies and windows, while children get between the legs of the escort. The police attempt to remove the women, but the soldiers receive warm farewells from the Parisian people of all classes. This evocative scene is a testament to the compassion and solidarity of the Parisian community towards the convicted soldiers. The image, published in the Illustrated London News in 1850, offers a glimpse into the social and political climate of the time, providing a poignant reminder of the human impact of penal transportation and the power of community support during times of adversity.
