1848 Attack Barricade Barricades Days Lamoriciere Maur Quarter Revolution Uprising
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the tense atmosphere of the Rue Saint-Maur barricade in Paris during the revolutionary days of June 1848. The Popincourt quarter, located in the 11th arrondissement, was a hotbed of political unrest, and on the 25th of June, the residents took to the streets to build barricades in defiance of the ruling monarchy. The barricade in this photograph, constructed of cobblestones, timber, and other debris, stands as a symbol of the people's determination to resist the forces of the government. The troops of General Lamoricière, led by the infamous French military commander, were ordered to dismantle the barricades and quell the uprising. The impending attack is palpable in the photograph, with soldiers and horses visible in the distance, poised to advance. The people of Rue Saint-Maur, however, remain steadfast, their faces etched with resolve and defiance. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the revolutionary spirit that swept through Paris in 1848, a time of political upheaval and social change. The events of this period, known as the June Days, marked a turning point in French history, paving the way for the Second French Republic and the eventual end of the Bourbon monarchy. The image also underscores the power of community and the indomitable human spirit in the face of adversity.
