EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A necessary sweeping away of corruption" depicts a powerful allegory that resonates with the scandalous events of the 20th century. Created by an anonymous French School artist, this colour lithograph showcases a broom symbolically sweeping away corruption in the Third Republic. The image serves as an illustration for Le Petit Journal, published on 27 March 1910, and captures the urgency to clean up politics and finance from corrupt practices. The central figure of Marianne, representing France herself, stands tall amidst a backdrop of brooms and dustpan brushes. It is through her determined stance that she signifies the nation's commitment to eradicate corruption. The vibrant colours used in this artwork bring attention to the pressing need for change within French society during that time. As viewers gaze upon this print, they are reminded of France's rich history and its continuous struggle against political malfeasance. With every stroke of the broom depicted in this piece, we witness not only a physical cleaning but also a metaphorical cleansing process taking place. This artwork encapsulates both hope and determination as it portrays France's unwavering spirit to uphold justice and integrity within its political system. As we reflect upon "A necessary sweeping away of corruption" let us be inspired by Marianne's resolute presence and remember that even in times tainted by scandal, there is always room for renewal and progress towards a brighter future.
