1848 Revolutions in Paris
“Place de la Concorde, February 24, 1848. Insurgents drag the throne of Louis-Philippe out of the Tuileries and burn it in the square. Foreground shows workers, students, and National Guards rolling the gilded throne onto a bonfire; midground reveals tricolor flags raised on improvised barricades; the Obelisk of Luxor stands among a city remaking itself in fire.”
