EDITORS COMMENTS
Bastille Under Siege: A Glimpse into the Turmoil of the French Revolution". This print takes us back to a pivotal moment in history - the infamous siege of Bastille during the French Revolution. The image, captured by Edward Gooch, showcases an original engraving by J Chapman that vividly depicts this significant event. As we delve into this black and white portrait, we are transported to 1789 when tensions were running high in France. The ground plan reveals the architectural layout of Bastille, while troops surround it with an air of aggression. Men armed with rifles stand guard as they face a restless crowd below. The scene is filled with palpable conflict and violence as shots ring out from both sides. This snapshot encapsulates not only the military aspect but also highlights the human role in shaping history through revolution and resistance against oppressive regimes. Bastille, once a symbol of royal authority and law enforcement, became synonymous with rebellion as it was stormed by revolutionary mobs seeking freedom from tyranny. Its fall marked a turning point in French culture and politics, igniting further waves of unrest throughout Europe. Edward Gooch's photograph serves as a powerful reminder of how art can capture historical moments that shape our world today. It invites us to reflect on the sacrifices made during times of war and revolution while reminding us never to forget those who fought for liberty amidst chaos.
