4º British: Comparative analysis of historical sources

It is time to start a comparaison practice before the exam... Look carefully the following images (all of them are linked to the Revolution of July 1830 in France) and them answer the questions as complete as possible:

  • What is the political significance of Source A?
  • Why do you think Source A is more important and famous than Source B? 
  • What is the political significance of Source C? (Observe carefully the different elements: social groups represented (and how/where), decoration, symbols, etc.)
  • What is the relationships between Source A and Source D? (Notice all the possible relationships: visual, ideological, cronological...) 


Source A. Eugene Delacroix: Liberty leading the people. 1830


Source B. Barricade at Louvre (engraving published in a French newspaper). 1830


Source C. Gerard: Proclamation of Louis Philippe, duc d'Orleans, as king of France. 1830


Source D. Jean Victor Schnetz: Fight at the Parisian Town Hall. 1833.
