Few images from 1848 capture the moment a crowd entered a royal residence as vividly as this one. On February 24, 1848, Parisian insurgents forced their way into the Tuileries Palace, the home of King Louis-Philippe, after he abdicated under pressure from the uprising. The throne was carried out of the palace and publicly burned, a symbolic end to the July Monarchy and the start of the Second Republic. Published in New York by Nathaniel Currier, the print shows how quickly American audiences followed European upheavals, and its hand coloring adds to the drama of the scene.
