Cartoon dedicated to the National Guard, Paris Commune, 1871. Artist: Anon
Cartoon dedicated to the National Guard, Paris Commune, 1871. The Paris Commune was established when the citizens of Paris, many of them armed members of the National Guard formed to defend Paris during the siege by the Prussians, 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.
