EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic print captured by Universal Images Group (UIG), we see Friedrich Engels, a prominent German socialist and philosopher, during the tumultuous riots of May 1849 in Prussia. Engels is depicted directing the construction of a barricade on the streets of Elberfeld amidst the rebellion. His strong leadership shines through as he guides a medium group of people in building this symbol of resistance. The image showcases Engels' dedication to socialism and his active involvement in advocating for change during this period. With determination etched across his face, he stands at the forefront, coordinating efforts to fortify their position against oppressive forces. Engels' presence not only represents his commitment to social justice but also highlights his role as an influential figure within German culture. As mid-adult men and women work alongside him under the open sky, it becomes evident that they look up to him for guidance and assistance. This horizontal composition captures both the intensity of the moment and Engels' unwavering resolve. It serves as a powerful reminder of how individuals can come together in times of struggle to challenge authority and fight for their rights. Important
