Question

n 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 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. France,

identifiable by the revolutionary tricolour, has just reached the statue. She is followed by the

peoples of Germany, bearing the black, red and gold flag. Interestingly, at the time when Sorrieu

created this image, the German peoples did not yet exist as a united nation - the flag they carry is

| an expression of liberal hopes in 1848 to unify the numerous German-speaking principalities into

a nation-state under a democratic constitution.

Following the German peoples are the peoples of Austria, the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies,

Lombardy, Poland, England, Ireland, Hungary and Russia. From the heavens above, Christ,

saints and angels gaze upon the scene. They have been used by the artist to symbolise fraternity

among the nations of the world.
