EDITORS COMMENTS
The Hand, front cover of La Vie Populaire, 1885 (litho) by Edouard Francois Zier captures a spine-chilling moment that sends shivers down your spine. In this eerie lithograph, we witness a scene straight out of a horror story. A man is depicted sitting on the edge of his bed in his nightclothes, seemingly frozen with fear. His eyes widen as he gazes upon an ominous shadowy hand that looms over him from behind the curtains. The severed hand appears monstrous and menacing, its fingers elongated and claw-like. The title page of Guy de Maupassant's novel 'La Main' serves as inspiration for this haunting illustration featured on the front cover of La Vie Populaire journal. The artist skillfully conveys the protagonist's shock and fright through their expressive facial features and body language. The room itself exudes an atmosphere of darkness and despair; chains hang ominously from the walls while heavy drapes frame the scene like prison bars. The great bed stands as a symbol of vulnerability against unseen terrors lurking in the night. This print evokes feelings of anguish, anxiety, and angst within viewers who can't help but be captivated by its spooky allure. It serves as a reminder that even in our most private spaces, we are not immune to fear's chilling grasp.
