Description: You are bidding on a huge original antique print from an 1880s illustrated journal. It shows several views of the Walloon jacquerie of 1886 (popular uprising with riot and strikes) in Belgium. Wallonia (Wallonie, Wallonië, Waloneye) is the predominantly French-speaking southern region of Belgium. The Walloon jacquerie of 1886 was a working class jacquerie of a bloody spring as many Walloon scholars are calling it. This violent upheaval of the Belgian, especially Walloon proletariat, caused a profound psychological shock in an atmosphere of fear of an inevitable and explosive social polarization. César de Paepe wrote the strike spread through whole Wallonia from the Prussian border as far as Tournai Other historians thought Wallonia sprang from the strike. It is very large (double folio size), measuring approximately 22 x 16 inches (56 x 40.5 cm). The picture fills most of the page, with a caption below. There is unrelated text/photos on the back of this print.The print has a fold in the middle, where it was folded into the magazine long ago. Note that the fold line is clean and undamaged, because it was "tipped" into the binding. This was a luxury binding technique of that era, because the double page prints were free of binding holes down the center.The page is in excellent condition for its age. See scan for an accurate view of the condition. This print will come with a Certificate of Authenticity. This print will come with a Certificate of Authenticity.
