  In what way do you think this picture depicts a Utopian vision?       The dream of worldwide democratic and Social Republics? The pact between Nations, a print prepared by Frederic Sorrieu, in 1848.

Answer:

                  Utopian Vision It means that it is depicting something idealistic. The French artist Frederic Sorrieu was visualising a dream of a world made up of nations (all of them did not exits as nations at the time that these prints were made). He had showed the German people with a common flag, although actually they were a number of different states at that time. So, it is an idealistic or Utopian vision. On the Earth in foreground of the image lie the  shattered remains of the symbols of absolutist institutions.
