EDITORS COMMENTS
This page from the 1-8 July 1848 issue of the renowned French journal L'Illustration offers a fascinating glimpse into the historic June Days uprising in Paris. The two engravings on this page represent the first known instance of photo-journalism in history, as they were adapted from daguerreotypes of the barricades in Rue Saint-Maur. The June Days, also known as the June Rebellion or the June Uprising, were a series of violent clashes between the French citizens and the military forces of the Second French Republic. These events took place from 23 June to 26 June 1848, and were a significant turning point in the history of the French Revolution. The engravings on this page depict the barricades erected by the insurgents in Rue Saint-Maur, a bustling street located in the 11th arrondissement of Paris. The images provide a vivid and detailed account of the makeshift fortifications, which were constructed using various materials such as cobblestones, furniture, and debris. The barricades served as both defensive structures and symbolic markers of the revolutionaries' determination to resist the government's authority. The June Days ended with the defeat of the insurgents and the restoration of order by the military forces. However, the events of this period marked a significant shift in the political landscape of France, as they highlighted the growing discontent of the working class and their desire for social and political change. This page from L'Illustration offers a unique and valuable perspective on this pivotal moment in French history, demonstrating the power of visual storytelling to capture the attention and imagination of the public.
