A Rosette of 1848 in Our Archives
2024. március 15.On the corner of a parliamentary publication of 1848, pressed in sealing-wax, a sample of the cocharda nationalis was preserved, as it was called then: national cockade (tarajka; “crestlet”).
The cockade of tricolour was spread all over Europe by the French revolution. At the outset, the trimmings of a hat made of cock-feathers (coq=cock) were called this way, later the pleated ribbon trimmings were also referred to this way.
