"Universal Democratic and Social Republic, 1848" is a series of four prints created by French artist and lithographer Frédéric Sorrieu in 1848. These prints vividly depict Sorrieu's utopian vision of a world united under the principles of democracy, peace, and brotherhood. The series is celebrated for its detailed representation of a democratic and social republic where nations come together, transcending their differences to participate in a universal parliament. This vision was deeply inspired by the revolutionary fervor of the 1840s, particularly the events of the 1848 Revolutions that swept across Europe, aiming to overthrow old monarchies and establish republics based on the principles of liberty, equality, and fraternity.

The first print in the series is particularly famous, showcasing a grand procession of people from all over the world heading towards the Champ de Mars in Paris. They are led by France, personified by a female figure holding the tricolor, symbolizing liberty. Following her are representatives of various nations, each carrying their national flags and symbols of freedom. This procession includes figures from both the Old World and the New, illustrating Sorrieu's inclusive vision of global democracy.

The imagery in Sorrieu's work is rich with symbols of peace, unity, and democratic governance, reflecting the optimistic and universalist ideals of the mid-19th century liberal and democratic movements. The series not only serves as a historical document, capturing the spirit and aspirations of its time but also continues to be a source of inspiration for those who advocate for democracy and international cooperation.

"Universal Democratic and Social Republic, 1848" is considered an important work in the history of political art, offering insight into the revolutionary ideals of the 1840s and the enduring appeal of a united, democratic world. Its detailed lithographs provide a visual representation of a hopeful future that was imagined during a tumultuous period of European history.
