1848 Extinguished Liberty Overthrown Philippe Revolution
EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking historical print captures the moment of Louis-Philippe's downfall during the February 1848 Revolution in France. The image, titled "PUT OUT! Louis-Philippe is extinguished by Liberty," vividly illustrates the overthrow of King Louis-Philippe I, who reigned as the "Citizen King" from 1830 to 1848. The cartoon portrays Liberty, personified as a woman, holding a large extinguisher, aiming it at Louis-Philippe, who is shown as a small, defeated figure, with a snuffer in one hand and a crown in the other. The background is filled with chaotic scenes of revolution, including barricades, riots, and the French tricolor flag. The February 1848 Revolution was a pivotal moment in French history, marking the end of the July Monarchy and the beginning of the Second French Republic. The revolution was sparked by a combination of economic hardships, political unrest, and social tensions. The people of France, tired of the monarchy's inability to address their concerns, took to the streets in protest, demanding political reform and social equality. The revolution culminated in the abdication of King Louis-Philippe on February 24, 1848. He fled France and went into exile, marking the end of his reign. The print captures the sense of triumph and liberation felt by the French people during this time, as they celebrated their newfound freedom and the promise of a better future. This powerful and evocative print is a testament to the enduring power of the French Revolution and the indomitable spirit of the French people. It serves as a reminder of the importance of political change and the role of the people in shaping their own destiny.
