Regne de la Terreur, Paris Commune, 1871
Regne de la Terreur, Paris Commune, 1871. Poster on the subject of the decrees of the Paris Commune. The 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
Regne de la Terreur, Paris Commune, 1871. This powerful print captures the essence of a tumultuous period in French history - the Paris Commune of 1871. The poster depicts an allegorical figure holding a flag, symbolizing the rebellion and chaos that engulfed the city during this time. The Paris Commune was born out of discontent with the conservative government that emerged after the Franco-Prussian War. Armed citizens, known as National Guards, took up arms against these policies and established their own left-wing regime in Paris for two months. This image serves as a visual representation of the decrees issued by the Commune during its brief reign. It showcases how these events inspired influential figures like Karl Marx and later communist leaders such as Lenin, Trotsky, and Mao. The vibrant colors used in this print evoke a sense of passion and intensity surrounding this revolutionary movement. It is a testament to both artistry and historical significance. As we gaze upon this artwork from a private collection, we are reminded of the bravery displayed by those who fought for their ideals during one of France's most transformative periods. This photograph stands as an enduring reminder of the power that people possess when they unite against oppressive governments.
