RARE 1848 ABDICATION OF KING LOUIS PHILIPPE FRENCH REVOLUTION MEDAL

Description: Obverse : the scene of the proclamation of the provisional government in the Chamber of Deputies : the platform of the National Assembly surrounded by a crowd of people in uniform or frock coats, brandishing a sword or carrying a pistol, legend "CHAMBRE DES DEPUTES", date: 24 Feb. 1848 and signature of A. GARNIER on both sides Reverse : HOTEL DE VILLE. Lamartine on the steps of the Hôtel de Ville in Paris making a speech to a motley ans armed crowd Diameter : 68 mm or 2,68 inches Weight : 184 grams Metal : bronze, plain edge On 24 February 1848, Louis-Philippe refused to confront the Parisians and abdicated in favour of his grandson. The Revolution of 1848 began on 23, 24 and 25 February 1848. This medal is like a metal document which evokes, like a journalistic report, the famous plea of ​​Alphonse de Lamartine in front of the Paris City Hall on February 25, 1848 in favor of the tricolor flag. Alphonse Marie Louis de Prat de Lamartine (1790 – 1869) was a French author, poet, and stateman who was instrumental in the foundation of the Second Republic and the continuation of the tricolore as the flag of France. Here's a translation of Lamartine's speech : “Citizens, you can do violence to the government, you can order it to change the flag of the nation and the name of France. If you are so ill-inspired and so stubborn in your error as to impose on it a party republic and a flag of terror, the government, I know, is as determined as I am to die rather than dishonor itself by obeying you. As for me, my hand will never sign this decree. I will reject until death this flag of blood, and you must repudiate it more than I, because the red flag that you bring back has never gone beyond the Champ de Mars, dragged in the blood of the people in 91 and 93, and the tricolor flag has gone around the world, with the name, the glory and the freedom of the fatherland.”
