EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Illustration in Psst. . . !" captures the essence of French society in the late 19th century. The image, taken by Caricadoc and copyrighted by Bridgeman Images, showcases a street scene filled with political posters, displaying a range of societal issues. The engraving depicts an era marked by anti-Semitism, elections, and the infamous Dreyfus Case. It offers a glimpse into the misery experienced by many individuals during this time - poverty-stricken paupers struggling to survive amidst alcoholism and despair. The artist, Jean Louis Forain (1852-1931), skillfully portrays the harsh realities faced by the population through his poignant illustrations. In this thought-provoking composition, Forain highlights not only social problems but also sheds light on France's political landscape. The presence of legislative posters indicates an active engagement in public affairs during that period. The image also serves as a reminder of how food and drink played significant roles within French culture at that time. With references to alcohol consumption throughout the illustration, it reflects both its prevalence and potential consequences within society. Overall, this photograph provides us with valuable insights into early 19th-century France - its struggles, its people's resilience amid adversity, and their ongoing fight for better living conditions. It is a powerful testament to art's ability to capture historical moments while evoking emotions that transcend time.
