'Une Petroleuse', Paris Commune, 1871. Artist: Anon
'Une Petroleuse', Paris Commune, 1871. Cartoon from a series titled Types de la Commune. Petroleuses were women extremists who used petroleum to set fire to buildings during 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.
