EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in French history - the Coup d'Etat of 1851. Taken by an unknown artist in the 19th century, this image depicts the dramatic arrest of deputies at the City Hall of the 10th arrondissement of Paris on December 2nd. The scene is filled with tension as armed military personnel surround and apprehend these elected officials. The engraving showcases the power dynamics at play during this tumultuous time, highlighting both political and military forces that shaped France's destiny. The historical significance of this event cannot be overstated. It marked a turning point in French politics, leading to the consolidation of power by Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte (later known as Napoleon III). This act effectively ended democratic rule and established a new authoritarian regime. Leonard de Selva's expertly captured photograph allows us to witness this crucial moment from over a century ago. Through his lens, we are transported back to an era where political turmoil was palpable on every street corner. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, let us reflect on how moments like these shape nations and remind ourselves never to take our democratic freedoms for granted.
