EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "France under a globe supported by the People assisted by the Noblesse and the Clergy" captures a powerful allegory of late 18th-century France. The image showcases a symbolic representation of the three orders combined, with a hive at its center symbolizing unity. The photograph, taken by Leonard de Selva, beautifully depicts this historical moment in French history. It serves as a reminder of the complex dynamics that existed during this time period, particularly leading up to the French Revolution in 1789. The globe represents France itself, while it is held up by both the people and assisted by two significant groups: the nobility and clergy. This composition highlights their roles in supporting and shaping society at that time. The inclusion of religious symbolism through the presence of clergy emphasizes their influence on political affairs during this era. Additionally, it reflects how religion played an integral part in societal structures. Overall, this print offers viewers an opportunity to reflect upon France's past and consider how these power dynamics have evolved over time. It invites us to delve into history and explore themes such as revolution, social order, and unity amidst diversity – all captured within one mesmerizing image from Musee Carnavalet in Paris.
