Listening Orbán talking about current, daily politics, loosely tied to the events of this day: he tries to set himself as revolutionary, a rebel. Jesus he really licks his own arse shiny.
I should post about something else.

I found a digitized book, from 1898, about the revolution and the war, in pictures as the title goes. Quite a bit of text is also included. I will cherry pick some of those pictures. They are a mix of drawings, imprints, copper engravings, daguerreotypes.

#1 the publisher's logo, says:
be impactful, creative, productive
This is a great motto. Take from a poem written by the author of the text of our national anthem.
In 1869 they moved to Pest (there wasn't any Budapest back then), I assume that's the date.
#2 the saber of Józef Bem
The Ladies of Transylvania gave him as a present. Originally it belonged to II. Rákóczi György (George II Rákóczi), prince of Transylvania, candidate for the Polish throne.
I mentioned Uncle Bem in this thread briefly. He is a Polish national hero, veteran of the Napoleonic wars who served in the Russo-Polish military, did research for the artillery, and prominent figure in the Polish November Uprising of 1930-31. He is our national hero too, a general in the War of Independence, the topic of today.
#3 Kossuth Lajos in 1941
Kossuth was one of the most prominent politician of the Reform Era, prior to the revolution. Then minister of finance in the first free government, then governor-president (head of state) of the independent Hungary.
#4 Széchenyi István
The other most prominent politician of the Reform Era, and usually his work these times considered the more impactful. Him and Kossuth did not agree on many things, partially due to their background, partially due to their experiences they viewed things differently. He was the minister of transportation in the first free government.
