EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures an exhibition of a forced evade, or an escaped prisoner who has been recaptured, at the Toulon bagne in the 19th century. The engraving is featured in Pierre Zaccone's renowned work "Histoire des bagnes depuis leur creation a nos jours" published in 1877. The image showcases the harsh reality of life within the penal colony known as Colonia Penale. In this scene, we witness a traditional punishment being inflicted upon the prisoner by a stern-looking goalkeeper. The atmosphere is filled with disgrace and humiliation as onlookers observe this cruel spectacle. Chains are prominently displayed, symbolizing the oppressive nature of incarceration during that era. The artist masterfully depicts the custom and culture surrounding French prisons during this time period. This engraving serves as a stark reminder of the hardships endured by convicts in Toulon and throughout France. Stefano Bianchetti's private collection preserves this historical artifact, allowing us to delve into early 19th-century France and gain insight into its penal system. Through black-and-white imagery, Bianchetti effectively conveys both the somberness and significance of these events. This print offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on our past while appreciating how far society has come in terms of criminal justice reform. It serves as a testament to human resilience and reminds us never to forget those who suffered under such punitive systems.
