Title: Disarming the Insurgents
Description: A colour lithograph of a painting of the scene in Rastatt on the 23rd July 1849. Rastatt was the final hold-out of the Revolution in the whole of Germany, until state troops arrived in the small, provincial town to quell the revolutionaries. Rastatt is in Baden, the hub of liberal politics in the mid-19th century, so it is perhaps unsurprising that liberalism remained so strong a force there for longer than anywhere else in the country.
