Peace, Perfect Peace by Heath Robinson
Peace, Perfect Peace by Heath Robinson. Being the Morning after the Night Before. The aftermath of energetic peace celebrations to mark the end of the First World War, Heath Robinson imagines a street strewn with fallen flags and banners, somebody comatose in a letter box and a couple fast asleep on an upturned car, with umbrellas up to shelter from the drizzle, warm under a Union Jack flag. Ever a police officer has stopped for a doze on a convenient windowsill. Date: 1919

The destroyed Vendome Column; Paris Commune, 1871
Illustration showing the destroyed Vendome Column, Paris, 16th May 1871. The column was pulled down by order of the Paris Commune, because it was an Imperial Monument to Napoleon I and militarism. The column was also very ugly. When the column finally fell there was rejoicing from both the Communards and the National Guard, who can be seen here celebrating, waving caps and rifles. At the end of the Franco-Prussian war, Parisian socialists set up the Commune and refused to surrender Paris to the rightwing French government. This led to bitter fighting on the streets of the city and large-scale executions of Communards
