EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and haunting print captures the heart-wrenching moment of "The discovery of six children abandoned by their parents". Created by an anonymous French School artist in the 20th century, this colour lithograph showcases a tragic scene that exposes the dark reality of child abuse and neglect. In this image, we witness six innocent faces, three boys and three girls, standing together in a dilapidated home. Their expressions reveal shock and despair as they grapple with the harshness of their circumstances. The squalor surrounding them is evident, emphasizing the poverty-stricken environment they have been left to endure. These young souls are hungry, neglected, and abandoned by those who were supposed to protect them - their own parents. The title "Les petits martyrs affames de la Belle-Fontaine" (The hungry little martyrs of Belle-Fontaine) further emphasizes their suffering. Published in Le Petit Journal on September 2nd, 1906, this illustration aimed to shed light on a crime that was all too common during that era. It serves as a stark reminder of society's responsibility towards its most vulnerable members – children. As we gaze upon this poignant artwork from our private collection at Fine Art Finder, let us not turn away from these heartbreaking realities but instead be inspired to take action against child abuse and ensure no child suffers such neglect again.
