Une Citoyenne', Paris Commune, 1871. Cartoon from a series titled Types de la Commune. The Paris 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.

Private School May 10, 1802 Thomas Rowlandson In this second print of a group of eight, young boys surround a bird's nest and two prepare to throw stones at a fallen chick. They are ignored by a distant schoolmaster, and only one boy appears horrified by the cruelty that a companion shows to a butterfly. Related text by Willyams, who also designed the image, suggests satirically that cruel children will grow up to be sucessful adults and that the main purpose of grammar school is to rid them of soft-heartedness. The author-designer was a university-educated lieutenant-colonel from Cornwall who also supplied supporting satirical text under the pseudonym Joel McCringer. Rowlandson, who etched the print, imbues the figures with his own characteristic elegance which does not disguise the dark human impulses being satirized. Like Hogarth's "First Stage of Cruelty," the image implies that boys allowed to mistreat small creatures will grow up to do far worse.. Private School. A Compendious Tr
