EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history - the oath of the Three Orders during the French Revolution. Depicting the Noblesse, Tiers Etats, and Clerge taking their solemn vows, this caricature symbolizes their commitment to fidelity to the king, prioritizing love for one's neighbor over money, and treating others as they would want to be treated. Created by an anonymous French artist in 1789, this period print offers a glimpse into the revolutionary spirit that swept across France during this time. The image showcases the diverse population of society coming together under one cause - demanding equality and justice. The composition is rich with symbolism and meaning. The three distinct orders are represented by individuals from different walks of life: nobility, commoners (Tiers Etats), and clergy. Their unity in taking this oath signifies a collective desire for change and a rejection of oppressive systems. Photographed by Leonard de Selva, this historical artifact reminds us of the power inherent in human determination for freedom and fairness. It serves as a reminder that even amidst turmoil and uncertainty, people have always strived for a better world. As we gaze upon this image today, it prompts us to reflect on our own roles within society and how we can contribute towards creating a more just future.
