Cutting through the Vendome Column; Paris Commune 1871
A group of Communards cutting through the base of the column in the Place Vendome, Paris, 1871. The Communards decided to remove the column, a symbol of imperial splendour, but had great difficulty in knocking it down. An engineer came up with the solution to bore a hole in the base and fell it like a tree. Date: 1871
