Barricades, damaged buildings and the political imagery of 1871 record the Paris Commune in the prints credited to Charaire. They are associated with Paris sous la Commune, a photographic account whose title presents the camera as a witness. The views reach from the Palais de Justice, Sainte-Chapelle and the Avenue Victoria out to Asnières and Clichy, while portraits, trials and satirical images turn from the damage to the people and arguments of the Commune. The abbreviated credit belongs to the book’s production and does not identify a single photographer.
