EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Grevistes at the abattoir de la villette, 1897" captures a powerful moment in history. Taken by Leonard de Selva, this image transports us back to Paris in the late 19th century. In this scene, we see a group of striking workers gathered outside the abattoir de la villette. Their faces are filled with determination and solidarity as they stand together against unfair working conditions. The men wear traditional French hats and kepis, symbolizing their national identity and unity. The composition of the photograph is strikingly beautiful yet haunting. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth to the image, emphasizing both the strength of these grevistes (strikers) and the darkness they are fighting against. As we gaze upon this historical print from Sabattier's private collection, we cannot help but feel a sense of admiration for these brave individuals who fought for their rights amidst challenging circumstances. This photograph serves as a reminder of how far society has come in terms of workers' rights while also highlighting ongoing struggles faced by laborers around the world. Leonard de Selva's skillful capture allows us to witness an important moment in French history through his lens. It is a testament to his talent as well as an invaluable record that continues to inspire reflection on social justice issues today.
