Explanation:

In 1848, Frédéric Sorrieu, a French artist, prepared a series of four

prints visualising his dream of a world made up of ‘democratic

and social Republics’, as he called them. The first print (Fig. 1) of the

series, shows the peoples of Europe and America – men and women

of all ages and social classes – marching in a long train, and offering

homage to the statue of Liberty as they pass by it. As you would

recall, artists of the time of the French Revolution personified Liberty

as a female figure – here you can recognise the torch of Enlightenment

she bears in one hand and the Charter of the Rights of Man in the

other. On the earth in the foreground of the image lie the shattered

remains of the symbols of absolutist institutions. In Sorrieu’s

utopian vision, the peoples of the world are grouped as distinct

nations, identified through their flags and national costume. Leading

the procession, way past the statue of Liberty, are the United States

and Switzerland, which by this time were already nation-states
