EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print titled "Vive la classe" takes us back to the early 20th century in France. The image showcases a fascinating comparison between different social classes through the lens of work attire. In the foreground, we see a distinguished gentleman dressed impeccably in a smart three-piece suit. He stands tall with confidence, holding a broom and dustpan as if ready to tackle any task at hand. His presence exudes elegance and sophistication. Contrasting this refined figure is another man, presumably a worker or servant, wearing more modest clothing and holding his own broom. Despite their differing attires, both individuals are engaged in sweeping the same area diligently. This juxtaposition prompts us to reflect on societal divisions and challenges our preconceived notions about class distinctions. Adding an extra layer of symbolism are the French flags proudly displayed in the background alongside blooming flowers. These elements evoke national pride while also suggesting that unity can be found even among diverse social groups. The postcard format further emphasizes that this image was meant for wider circulation during its time, possibly serving as a commentary on social equality or simply as an artistic representation of everyday life. Overall, "Vive la classe" invites viewers to contemplate themes of class, work ethic, and unity within society while appreciating the skillful lithography technique employed by the anonymous French artist who created it over a century ago.
