Allegory of la Franc-Maconnerie et la Commune, Paris Commune, 1871
Allegory of la Franc-Maconnerie et la Commune, Paris Commune, 1871. The Paris Commune was established when the citizens of Paris, many of them armed National Guards, rebelled against the policies of the conservative government formed after the end of the Franco-Prussian War. The left-wing regime of the Commune held sway in Paris for two months until government troops retook the city in bloody fighting in May 1871. The events of the Commune were an inspiration to Karl Marx as well as later communist leaders including Lenin, Trotsky and Mao. From a private collection

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of the "Allegory of la Franc-Maconnerie et la Commune, Paris Commune, 1871". The image depicts a significant moment in history when the citizens of Paris rose up against the conservative government following the Franco-Prussian War. Armed National Guards and rebellious civilians took control of Paris for two months, forming a left-wing regime known as the Commune. The scene is filled with symbolism and political undertones. A prominent flag waves proudly in the air, representing unity and resistance. An allegorical figure stands tall amidst chaos, embodying the spirit of revolution and rebellion. Women are prominently featured in this artwork, highlighting their active participation in shaping history during this tumultuous period. The events of the Paris Commune had far-reaching consequences that extended beyond France's borders. Karl Marx found inspiration from these events, which influenced his ideology and later became foundational to communist movements worldwide. Leaders such as Lenin, Trotsky, and Mao drew upon this historical example to shape their own revolutionary agendas. This remarkable print offers us a glimpse into an era marked by passion for change and social transformation. It serves as a reminder that throughout history, ordinary people have risen together to challenge oppressive systems and fight for justice.
